Motif #23, 24 & 25

I am through with the 25 motif challenge and boy what fun it was... each time I would wonder what to do!

These are my latest creations.

Motif No.23




This is actually a small motif from Gun & Elwy's book and I thought it will look great as a earring too... The thread used here is Yarnplayer's Rhubarub Crisp. I gave the pink ones as a Diwali (Festival Of Lights - celebrated in India) Gift to my Sister in Law and she loved it (I Hope). Now I am on a hunt for more ear ring patterns.

Motif No. 24

This pattern is again from Gun & Elwy's book and looks great as a pendent, Well that's what I have used this as.
I made this in two colors. and the thread used is Rose cotton thread size 20.

Motif No.25


Last but not the least, again from Gun & Elwy's book this motif is done using the same thread as that of Motif. 24. Initially I wanted to make this in a single color thread but I had lot of unused threads still wound in my shuttle. It still came out good so I am happy and no regrets.

Motif #22

Motif No.22


This is from the same place as the last one (Motif No.21). It just turned out so cute that I made 3 of these. I used Yarnplayer's dyed thread, and Valdani pearl thread no.12. I purchased this from etsy and the last one with Rose thread 20.

Motif #21

Motif No.21


I was randomly checking the net and came across this one. I just loved this. I am trying to find, from where I had picked this pattern but I just cant find it. This apparently is done with needle tatting and will look great on a card with lots and lots of purple flowers.

Motif #20

Motif No.20


This is a gift for my husband's friend who celebrated his birthday last month. But due to tax season he is quite (he is also a CA) busy and I am unable to give this to him. I am now having second thoughts on parting with this. He just bought a new apartment and I thought this would be a good gift. The motif is from Gun & Elwy's book and I made this with two colors.

I just hope this blends well with in his new home, and he likes it.
