This is "Polly" I named her after my tatting teacher.
Polly is a Needle Tatted Mini bear that I did for a contest in the Piecework Magazine, I did not win except Polly was chosen to be displayed in the new Museum, I think it is in Kentucky for 4 months. I just got her back today.
The contest was for Pin Cushions. Polly is sitting on her pincushion, I tatted her outfit in size 80 Dmc Cordonnet thread. I got the idea for the dress and hat from a basket pattern I saw in an old tatting book , the patterns were by Carol Winandy. I wrote her and she gave me permission to do this. I just used my imagination and made up the pattern for her outfit.
The Card in the background is the Thank you I got from Piecework Magazine.
here is a photo of Polly by herself.
