Pink doily and Photos by Denise "Neesy" Augostine Thanks Bunches Neesy!! :o) Visit Neesy's Crochet Site! . Here's Another View of the finished doily. And a Closer Look here. 
The first time I saw one of Trish's doilies, I thought, "Now That's what I call a DOILY!" :o) Her designs are Absolutely Gorgeous and can even challenge the well-seasoned crocheter, but at the same time can also inspire the new crochet enthusiast to great heights. I like to consider myself an "experienced" crocheter (been at it for more than 30 years!) and I've even come up with a few designs of my own from time to time. Trish is the First Crochet Designer to inspire me to create a "work of Art"! I sure hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it! Trish - this one's for You! :o)
