More to the challenge!

Here's the next two for my challenge :

The Lovebird from Ms Pam Palmer's Tatting Treats Three. Done in size 50- Omega thread. The thread was something that was 'available' to me a couple of years back. Not my favourite to work with... it's a little bit 'cranky' but I have loads of it and the colours are awesome. =). The Lovebird is meant to be part of a landscape inspired by a blue and white procelain plate - the Lovebirds were my favourite. They're so cute - I'm thinking of using this as an embellishment somewhere. =).

And one for my mom. Happy Mothers' Day... We miss you.

The Scallop Shell Heart from Ms Matha Ess' Tat's Amore, done in size 40 Lizbeth Red Burst.
