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.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Can't wait to see what you get up to next!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh! I like the way your leaf turned out!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shape and different collection of elements. I think leafs that are different are challenging. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks really good! It's very unique & lovely!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have some nationalistic Canadian friends (or hockey fans?) with whom to share your leaf! It's a good likeness and very pretty.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, it might be an appropriate attachment to a bottle of maple syrup too. Very nice.
Yay! very nice---in looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow -- 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.
ReplyDeleteVery 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).
