I have not posted here in a while. I have been tatting - I have things to show for sure. But I need to express myself today. This is not tatting related so skip if you want. It is me needing to put a horrible event in to perspective and gain control to move on. On the 10th July I lost the one most important thing in my life quite unexpectedly and nothing has really seemed worthwhile. To those of you who knew Jamie in person or through his (usually wicked) forays into the chats on MSN you will know how much he loved life, a good laugh, good company and that he gave me his incredible support in my chosen vice - tatting. To those of you who did not know him. You have missed knowing one of the most charming, intelligent, caring and loving individuals that has ever walked this earth. I have to post here - my voice to the outside world. I have to have an avenue to express publicly how much this man meant to me. Get it out there in words. But the words are so har...
Your tatting is so lovely. beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese are exceptionally nice motifs. Or perhaps you are just an exceptionally good tatter and make them look outstanding. :-)
ReplyDeleteHello Liyarra,
ReplyDeleteYou worked the design very well. The thread is a lovely color and appears to tat nicely, with beautiful, even stitches. You did great work. So I wonder: What is wrong with the thread?
Hegla
I love that motif also and the thread!! What a good color
ReplyDeleteThank you for such nice comments.
ReplyDeleteGina - no, the motifs are just THE best.
Hegla - the thread is really hard to deal with - it twists a lot. I guess after using the Lizbeth - (which cooperated with me) this one felt all unco. I find the Altin Basak has a lot of stretch to it when I use it. I have to concentrate hard to get even stitches.
This one really jumps off the page (or screen!). Your tatting is so perfect, and I'm curious how you hide your threads.
ReplyDeleteI've never tatted with this thread, so your comments about it are interesting. You seem to have 'tamed the beast', so to speak. At first glance, I thought it WAS Lizbeth.
You're making me want that Frauberger book!
