Garden of Eden

The sun peeped through the clouds sufficiently for me to take a photo of my new wall hanging 'The Garden of Eden'.

The wall hanging is in a black frame, but alas, I'm unable to capture a photo of it that aligns the border in a straight line. Therefore, unfortunately this photo has been cropped to remove the border :(

It measures 40cm by 50cm inside of the border and the tree is about 35 cm tall.

The background is fabric - cloud material for the sky and green blotchy material for the grass.

My previous posts have shown close-ups of many of the individual items within it. Items not shown in the previous posts are:
- Bluebirds (designed by Anitra Stone)
- Robin (Designed by Jane Eborall)
- Wheelbarrow (Designed by Jane Eborall)
- Flowers (Designed by me)
- Shrubbery (Designed by me)

Dragonfly

This dragonfly, designed by Umi and Tsuru, is currently perched in the pear tree and is under close observation of the goose.

Fowl design

The wall hanging (mentioned in my previous post) consists of a menagerie of people's designs.

The hen and the rooster were from Christel Weidmann's book Tatting Farm Animals.

The baby chicks and the goose were designed by Jane Eborall


Haven't yet taken a photo of the finished product, and it is too big to scan.

Robin

Isn't this robin pattern cute? As soon as I saw it on Jane Eborall's webpage I knew that I wanted to tat it.

Unfortunately it did not cure my crave, because I now want to tat it again :)

Prince the Parrot

What a joy this cheeky fellow was to tat. And such a perfect use of those left-over threads that we all find on our shuttles.

This little fellow took several months to tat, because he was my 'stand-in chap' for when I didn't have a larger project to work on. I guess he got worked on each time I needed to free a new shuttle up from left-over threads.

Prince Parrot was designed by Mary Parrott and was tatted in many shades of Altin Basak size 50.
