Celtic flutterby

Can there be enough flutterbies in the world?

Rozella Linden is doing her best to bring beauty into the world by creating gorgeous designs like Fred Flutterby.

He has flown out of the Celtic Tatting:Knots and Patterns book and is tatted in Altin Basak 50.

Motif 13

This butterfly was another creation from Rebecca Jone's book The complete book of tatting.

I prefer the way that this butterfly looks rather than the previous one that I made (Motif 6) despite that fact that Motif 6 looks better in the photograph. Perhaps it is because it holds its shape well without requiring support.

Oh to be photographic!

Motif 6

This flutterby is from Rebecca Jones' book The Complete book of tatting.

For those of you who have this book, you will notice that this flutterby doesn't look like the one in her book. My flutterby seems to be a tad fatter than hers. This partly due to the fact that it has eaten more than the flutterby in the book and partly because it has been 'blocked' differently.
