BUT… when we were walking the dogs this morning, it struck me that I have been trying to do an accurate representation (in tatting) of still photographs of dragonflies.

I just posted about the friendship bracelets that I tatted while I was in the design process for

I am really pleased with the cord. I wanted it to be simple and not too frou frou.
It’s light and really pleasant to wear.

Fun!
