A Bluebird for fun
Wanting to tat, but feeling too tired to attempt further progress on the doily, I decided to empty one of the business card shuttles working the Tatted Bluebird by Nancy Tracy. I accidentally omitted 2 ds and a picot in one of the rings and I adapted the pattern to practice an inward-facing picot for the beaded eye, but it is a darling pattern--lots of fun to tat! I used the Reverse Join to change the place of the shuttles for the chains that form the head. It's a handy technique. Considering the number of mistakes I made in this little motif with size 10 Manuela thread, I'm glad I didn't try to work with the size 80 tonight.

That's an adorable little bird, and I love the thread!
Oh she is a sweety little bird I can almost hear her singing. I will have to check out Nancy's patterns! this would look nice if you made a couple more even different colors and place them in a green doily (that looked like trees ha ha) wouldn't that be fun :)
Very cute bird ! You've tempted me to tat her pattern to give company to Nellie's bluebird :-)
I like the Reverse Join, too ! Very convenient.
Your doily is coming along Stunningly ! Looking forward to it's completion - your Mom will be thrilled. I tried leaving a comment a few days back, but the connection was too erratic.
Sweet! I like the cut picots for beak and legs.
It's a cute bird!! :)
Thanks, everyone. Nancy created a really cute little bird that is easy to tat. Madtatter80, that is a great idea, but you'll have to do it. I've got too many other "must-tat" items on my list. :)
