Motifs #3 & #4

Motif #3 - Madonna & Child, pattern by Mark Myers (aka Tat-Man).  I made it with Lizbeth thread in size 40 in #652 - blue, #630 - peach light, and #601 - white.  The finished size is approximately 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".  The colors look a little darker than the actual thread because I had sprayed them with stiffener before I took the photo and it wasn't dry yet.

Motif #4 - Easy Tatted Cross bookmark.  I made 2 of these with the same color thread.  Sort of a 'his and hers' set. They were also made with Lizbeth thread in size 40 in #114 Sea Shells.  It's a super simple pattern and is easily tatted by needle or shuttle.  I made this one using a shuttle. The finished size is approximately 4" x 5 1/2".

Both of the motifs were made as gifts for 2 friends for Christmas. I have one gift left to make and hopefully I can get it done in time.
