Maeve is at first glance a complicated tangle of work! Yet, as I look again, I see it is not that hard. What type of thread did you use? Wonderful design!
Stumbled upon you on Pinterest. My Grandmother tried to teach me tatting 10+ years ago, and as I approach my 65th b'day, I've decided to teach myself, out of honor to her. I love your work and I'm very inspired again. Thank you for sharing. Blesses be. Sandi
Thanks, Bookmonger! You are so lucky to have re-discovered this fine old art form!
Just imagine the birthday presents you can give to yourself - thread, shuttles, books! Endless possibilities! And the best gift of all is the tribute to your Grandmother!
I am learning how to tat and so far, I'm liking it. Is there an easy book out there that is good for a beginner? And your items are very beautiful! Carol :)
Then poke around the site and you will find tone and tons of info, help and ideas about what books you would like to read. I started there and would never have learned tatting without the help from the women there. it is a marvellous resource for a committed tatter! Good luck! Fox : )
Couldn’t really tell you - lots were given to me and I get some from a little bead store in my city. i don’t have a large supply at all. There are online stores as well, but I have not used them for findings. Fox

ReplyDeleteI think it is an HDT ( maybe Kerry Solomon's #30), but I forget!

Oh, these look like I need to spend some time tatting! I love the button center idea for Athalia.
ReplyDeleteThanks, N. Maria! Hope you like tatting these!

Hi Fox,
ReplyDeleteWhere do you source your findings from?
Couldn’t really tell you - lots were given to me and I get some from a little bead store in my city. i don’t have a large supply at all. There are online stores as well, but I have not used them for findings.
