Lately I have been wanted to tat wedding stuff and I finished a crown and a flower basket. The basket is still wet from the starching but I can show you the crown.
The pattern is from "DMC Book of Charted Tatting Designs". The instructions ask for a #20 thread but I used #10 to make it bigger. Mom says that may be adding another motif will look better. I stiffened it with white glue/water mix and then sprayed with a fabric/floral hi gloss spray. I still need to give another coat of the spray to make it shine, but it looks pretty stiff now.Because has been raining so much the things take a long time to dry. So the basket will come in a few days.
Also I'm looking for this book. It's listed on Amazon but for $12. If I do remember, this book was sold for around $4. If anyone knows where I can get a copy, even a used one, please e-mail me. I'll appreciate it!
Oh, WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's realllly pretty.
This crown is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDid you make it for someone in particular?
Wow, that crown is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI made the crown to have it in exhibit when I go to the artisan fairs. But if someone wanted I can make another in a jiffy. Took me only 3 days to tat and 3 days to stiff because of the rainy weather.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments. :-)
