This one is a top and bottom copied from one of my old ornaments, so I have no idea of its origin. I made the top and bottom to try lacing them together after a discussion with to MSquared. This was not what I had in mind so I just dropped in my finished tatting drawer and moved on. When it came time to enter the fair I scrabbled around in the drawer looking for something I've made within the last year (fair years run from August to August) and re-discovered this one. I decided that the fastening thread made an interesting zig-zag after all then dropped it in with the stuff to go to the Fair. Apparently, the judges liked the zig-zag lacing it together, as well, because it's got a blue first place ribbon, too.
I do wish I'd taken a picture of it before hauling it out to the fair -- because what ever that is on the shelf below the ornament looks ...um... somewhat inappropriate for a G rated blog.
2 interesting remarks:
That ornament is so pretty! Haven't done one of those myself yet... Definitely worth the ribbon. ^_^
The last comment made me laugh. Cupcakes or something? haha
Well done on getting a blue ribbon, lovely piece of tatting.
