A more complex design, did I get it right?

[Shell]

Ok, so the dragonfly theme is continuing and this is my attempt at something more complex. Although in all honesty it really is very basic. I haven't mastered anything much to be able to say it is a difficult design as this still only uses 3 of goodness knows how many tatting techniques. I hope that this looks like a dragonfly in flight or resting on a leaf (just imagine the feet will ya ). Nope, once more I haven't sewn in the ends so ignore those hanging out the top of the tail. I am thinking that the "head" needs to be a bit bigger? Let me know what you think. I am able to take constructive criticism so I mean it, tell me what you think No point designing something if you're the only one who likes it or can recognise it Thanks friends!

Definitely looks like another dragonfly. You are doing such a wonderful job on your designs. You need to have more confidence in yourself.

Yes, I do I like what I have done but I worry that it's not what others expect is more the point. I actually finished this quick last night before going out. As soon as I saw my friend I pulled it out of my wallet and asked her what she thought. The trouble with asking my friends and family is that none of them are crafty in the slightest, so they always tell me how clever I am and how great this and that is. As lovely as it all is, it's not very objectional. Bias even When I design things for me I don't really care what they're like. I either like it or I don't. But I'd hope to share these designs and so it does matter now Thank you for your kind words buckler
