I made a simple clover/chain motif and added beads to the center rings of the clovers and a charm to the bottom of one of the clovers.
What I found while making the pendant was how versatile small motifs can be. I made a couple more motifs and added them to shepherd's hooks and really like the way they turned out. I've given one of the bookmarks to a friend as a thank you gift and she thought it was lovely.

Very nice! This is how you end up designing, you know.
LOL - I've never thought of myself as a designer. I participated in one of Sharon's design classes and failed miserably. But I can see how being very familiar with various tatting techniques and repeats like clovers would make it easier to experiment a little and try new ways of putting things together.
Even though it was just a small motif, it was actually fun to see how it came together in the end.
they look great! I'm sure the recipient will love it!
I love your bookmarks and all the other beautiful things you have tatted. I just found your blog via the 25 motif challenge. I just ordered some of those metal bookmarks to do some tatting for but haven't had time to find the pattern I want to use. I am looking forward to seeing more of your tatting!
Thank you Wickedtats and Paula.
These little square clover motifs are fast and easy and look great. If you used a smaller thread, I think they would also be fantastic earrings.
What size thread did you use for these? They are beautiful. I might have to make something similar myself.
They're all Lizbeth Size 20. The colors are Western Sunset and Springtime.
Have fun!!
