It's been a long time since my last motif for the 25 Motifs Challenge. Tonight I was playing with some "digital tatting" and came with a design that I really like it. I was thinking it was going to be easy, but geesh! I'm out of form! I had to make it 3 times and even this one have a mistake. I made 2 of the big rings with 5 free- picots instead of 4. So I couldn't make the last round.
Anyway I think it's pretty and looks like a symbol used by the Tainos (Puerto Ricans native, who are now extinct). It's not exactly like the symbol but I associate this with it, so there's why the name Taina.
The thread used is Miquita, a Peruvian thread similar to a size #20, a little thinner, in light ecru or cream.
I will writing the pattern and will post it here. It will take a couple of days may be. I need to come back to designing. Soon is my BD and I need to make my BD pattern.
