Pressing On: Presson & Blomqvist

Pretty little motif - 4" - tatted with this silk thread, sent to me by my friend, Suneeti:


I thought the silk would be much finer and difficult to tat with, but surprisingly, it was delightfully smooth and quite substantial, rather like a #40!

Every motif I have tatted using this pattern has been teeny. This one has some heft and with my newly-found tension has attitude!

It is a gorgeous carmine red:

  2. That is pretty! I haven't tatted with silk in a while. Maybe it's time to give it a try again. :-)
