Tatted Snail from Ruth's pattern

I wish I could get better pictures of this little snail. He is so cute! The pattern is on the Tatted Pattern a Day Calendar, but I don't remember what day. I tatted him with size 10 cotton thread, but he is still tiny. Who would have thought of tatting snails? Ruth, of course! He is perfect, but not for my denim bag. He won't show up. I guess I'll put him on my denim shirt/jacket with Jane's geckos, giraffe, flamingo and crab.
