Tah Dah!

I'm tooting my own horn a bit here...sorry.



Well, here it is. The finished leaf pattern (or finished for now). I adjusted the center by tatting a center ring with eight picots and ended that pass with the tail. The second pass just helps fill the center and stabilize the outer pass.



I figured out how to go from the center out and it seems to work well. The picture below includes the first leaf I posted several weeks ago and shows yesterday's leaf along with the finished product.

  3. Very nice shape and different collection of elements. I think leafs that are different are challenging. Great job!

  5. I hope you have some nationalistic Canadian friends (or hockey fans?) with whom to share your leaf! It's a good likeness and very pretty.

    Come to think of it, it might be an appropriate attachment to a bottle of maple syrup too. Very nice.

  7. Wow -- great job. It looks like a leaf (which is always a plus if you're making a leaf). I like the way you've made the stem so nicely substantial.

  8. Very nice leaf! Congrats! You deserve your horn blowing, it really turned out nice. I like your thread choice also-what is it? And how big did your leaf turn out. Inquiring minds would like to know.(lol).
