Once Upon A Stork

 

Once upon a time, about 15 years ago, my daughter was pregnant with her second child. For a gift I made Jane Eborall's tatted stork to put on a photo album. I can't remember if I made this one first for practice, or made it second, meaning to give it away. Whatever I planned, I found it in a drawer the other day.

I remember how much I enjoyed making this. I have always enjoyed making split rings, ever since I learned how many years ago. The way Jane designed the legs on this really caught my attention. I modeled the legs of a spider I designed that same year (2011) after them. 

I found a few other things in the drawer that I have forgotten about. Some I remember when I did them and others were just passing thoughts. I'll probably share them another day.
