This is Rozallin from "Tatting Lace with Your Life" by Ha Mi-Kyeong (ISBN 978-89-98432-45-4). I love the mirrored curves in this motif, and I think the two colors work well together. I did have a little trouble working it - I drew my large rings a bit too tight so it was difficult to get it to lie flat, and results in things overlapping a bit more than I'd like. Because I was also working in two colors, it was a little tricky to simultaneously reverse the direction of the chains and switch colors and leave a mock picot, and so I decided to simplify on the last round by replacing the josephene knots with simple picots. I think the first two rounds would also make a lovely snowflake and might try it when I find my white thread.
I really enjoy this book - it's patterns for small motifs and doilies, and the work is colorful and absolutely impeccable. The
text is Korean, but the patterns are diagrammed with excellent
photographs including close-ups of tricky bits. Some of the patterns
feature overlapping elements almost like Celtic tatting.
Amazon link to book, but be warned the description on Amazon is quite inaccurate.
