This is a pair of motifs I've been working on for a while. I drew it all out on the computer first, then tatted it in size 10 thread. By doing that, I found out there was one place where I had to change the direction of the chain, and a number of places I had to change the stitch count.Tatted again in a size 20 I had on a pair of shuttles and found a couple of other tweaks needed. Finally, I made this pair from two colors of Sulky blendables I had on the shuttles. I would have done more, but I couldn't remember which colors they were!
Each motif builds from the center in one continuous round using split rings. It could make a really handsome mat. Maybe I should work on it some more -- in another color, or at least in colors I've written down!I think Jon is right about connecting two rings to join the motifs -- it would made a much stronger connection. Once I got looking at that option, I thought maybe joining them across all the rings would be interesting. This is what my computer thinks it would look like:

I like the way the pattern flows!
Excellent job, Marty!
It's a very lovely motif! I admire those of you who can design like this-what an amazing talent!
I always love it when you can see a pattern within a pattern. Lovely piece.
The blended colors are beautiful, and the pattern is excellent.
very interesting progression. I like your colors.
Brilliant job and lovely pattern
Well done

I love to designs that have hidden designs in them as in this case, even if they are computer-aided (in this case).
I was thinking that, if you do it again, you should consider joining the motifs at the two rings, and it will show up the square (white space) better. Just a thought.
It is a lovely design.
p.s I posted a comment earlier but not sure if that went through or not.
Looking up near shows the beauty of the flow! Very nice!! What a petty you don'T know the wonderful thead!
Isn't it great to be able to map it out on the computer first? Saves a lot of work.
