Chiacchierino facilissimo: that's not that!

====================

====================

Dear Reader,

I share here what I like and what works for me. If you've been following me, you know that I can change my mind from time to time, and feel free to comment that I'm completely wrong, you may be right. I'm not running a business. I'm not paid and have never received any compensation or facilitation for any review/brand/site here mentioned. In case one day we'll ever meet, I'll be the one offering you a cup of Italian coffee, too.

that's not that!

That's not that! That's just my doodle, let me say, transformed in tatting... All knotted and curled! Just my "light-ANKARS" style! I find very difficult designing a pure ANKARS motif, hat off to those talented tatters who can!

If you like learning what ANKARS really is, you may read this first: http://www.ankars-club.ru/index.php/o-tekhnike-ankars/o-tekhnike-ankars/about-technics-ankars.html

Blue and pink versions are from the same pattern.

That is the back side:

I've used 2 shuttles filled with 3 threads, one size 80 cotton Lizbeth col.122 and 2 strands of metallic gold DMC E677 - and loaded seed beads. Then I sewed swarovski beads on, with an invisible sewing thread 100% polyamid.

Threads loaded for the pink version are cotton DMC size 80 col.3778 and one strand of mouliné DMC E677.
