This is the start of a doily from a pattern from the book The Tatter's Treasure Chest by Carolyn Waldrep. I decided to use a pattern because the thread that I am using is Marilee's (Yarnplayer) tourmaline, size 50 and I think it is the nicest HDT that she makes. I just love the colours so I wanted to make something that I knew I was going to like the look of and not waste the thread. Thanks Marilee for once again creating a HDT that is almost to nice to be real.

Oh this is really lovely. Very striking!
Clyde, your work is amazing! We are constantly blown away by all of the talent in the tatting world. Thanks so much for the lovely comment you left on our blog. I'm going to put a link to your blog on ours so others can see your amazing work! Jo :)
Wow! That looks amazing! Tourmaline is certainly one of Marilee's best HDT. I really hope she makes another batch soon.
Clyde, you've tatted another gorgeous doily! I love Tourmaline, too. I can't wait to see what you tat next!
What a credit you and the tourmaline are to each other! Tatted like this I can really see the beauty of the thread. Another masterpiece in the works.
Wow, I really like this! Looks like I have to dye some more "Tourmaline"! Your tatting looks really good, with such even picots. From what I can tell, all deliberately "front side up", which is a refinement I must admit to not bothering with much. Prize-winning work!
Thank you everyone for your kind remarks. I must say that tourmaline is my favorite thread from Marilee (yarnplayer) I just love the mix of colours and how they blend when tatted up.
Beautiful, Clyde, I think it is time I invested in HDT, must go and raid the piggy bank!
