Here are some of the motifs that I've completed. I'm not sure I'm going to use them in this project. I'm going for a more delicate look. The butterfly is definitely a keeper, tho. I just have to block it and hopefully shape it some more. I'll do some smaller roses instead of the wild rose next.

The blogger isn't letting me add any more pictures right now. I have a close up of the butterfly and the leaf in the middle.
For that leaf I measured out 3 yards and put a slip knot at each yard. I was right, it took just less than 3 yards. You can tell by the quarter how tiny it is in #70 tatting thread with a .60 hook.
The yellow is for the flower petals, the red for the heart border pattern and the green for the flower leaves which I haven't tacked down the outline for yet. The angel will stay white. I asked my son for suggestions so that he would have a part in this project as well, he suggested the colors instead of the traditional white lace. He also picked out the braid I made for the outside of the frame.
Time to go play with more thread and dyes. It's rather fun!
