| Renulek's Spring 2014 Napkin, Round 2 |
But, on to Round 3. What colours to use? I thought I would go back to Butterfly Breeze and introduce Leafy Greens. But, when I tatted one or two motifs, I didn't like it (see the top right corner in the picture below). It looked cool next to the yellow and blue of Round 2, like it was receding. But I figure, the flower round should pop forward! So I started again with Pineapple Parfait (my foundation colour, I realise), and added Fruit Fizz. Ah, much brighter and stronger (see at top left)! So I cut off my first attempt and went with Fruit Fizz. But, now I wonder if I've added too many colours. I hope the yellow will tie things together. And I'm still thinking of going back to Leafy Greens/Butterfly Breeze for the next round, or the next one…

| Rpund 3 - which colours to choose? |
 |
| I've chosen Pineapple Parfait and Fruit Fizz |
Threads - Lizbeth Size 40.
Round 1: Pineapple Parfait and Butterfly Breeze
Round 2: Pineapple Parfait and Arctic Waters
Round 3: Pineapple Parfait and Fruit Fizz
I agree that the Fruit Fizz pops a lot more. I am tatting this doily, too and made the flower rounds red to pop out of the Fern Green color on the other rounds. Love your doily so far.
ReplyDeleteI think the greens will look good on the next rounds that are more plain, so they look like leaves and vines behind the flowers.
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful colors!!! :) Can't wait to see all the colors in the finished doily!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGrace, I love the colors so far! And I'm sure the next rounds, with "leaves & vines" can use the greens. The Pineapple Parfait will hold it all together.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute, yummy names these threads have; not to mention the variegation combos :-))
Gorgeous colours! I like option 3 the best :). Can't wait to see more progress pics :).
ReplyDeleteLooking lovely, be careful on the next row perhaps keeping to just the threads you have started with doing alternative repeating 1,2 and 3 again.
ReplyDeleteDoes that make sense how I wrote it?

I think I know what you mean - go back to yellow/Butterfly Breeze for Round 4, then yellow/Arctic Waters for Round 5, then yellow/Fruit Fizz for round 6. But I was thinking of following another logic. The upcoming rounds are more like leaves and vines, and I'm looking towards the next flower round, Round 8. I want that to pop out again - probably Arctic Waters and yellow. Whereas I want the vine rounds to recede. Hopefully it will work out…
DeleteHi, Grace T! Here's another Grace T who loves to tat and I REALLY LOVE the colors you've chosen for this Spring Doily. I'll be watching to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteGrace,
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you have chosen. I've never tatted a doily but perhaps soon, I may try the first two rounds as you have suggested for a coaster.
Best,
Bernice
