Another suggestion if you want to use tatting would be to try saturating the tatting with liquid starch and then adhering it directly to a painted wall. I have seen this done with fabric on the tv decorating shows, just don't know if your tatting would be too heavy to stay up. You can then take it down easily before you move by wetting it. I once tatted a thick ring design to go around a plain plastic oval picture frame and stuck it down with glue, finishing off by painting the frame and tatting gold. Kind of looks like a carved frame. :-) One problem I had was that using thick thread required many joins and I think I was using the large Tatsy tatting shuttle for my string. Try it, what do you have to lose but a few hours and some thread, and tell us about your experiments whether in tatting, wire or thread. Janice
