My Tatted Motorcycle


As I mentioned before I am a 'motorcyclist'---a person who rides a motorcycle.  I want to differentiate that I am NOT a 'biker'.  Bikers are rough/tough type people....the kinda folks you might cross to the other side of the street if you meet them.  I am a motorcyclist in that I always wear a helmet and safety gear, even it I don't have to legally.
 
Many years ago, I tatted this motorcycle.  It is created as components and mounted to a piece of linen (which is sage-blue-green).  I cheated and just pulled the thread ends to the back of the linen and hid them that way.  I used a picture of a Triumph motorcycle to copy design/details.

  2. This is awesome! Great job! You said you pulled the ends to the back of the material, does that mean you sewed it down? Are the parts held together with glass?
