I just stumbled across this site while surfing tatting blogs: http://www.beadsky.com/gallery.php?ln=en
Under "tatting", does it seem to you guys that Astratenko's first two doilies include a bit of Irish crochet? (It's easier to see in "Violeta".) If so, it's a grand old tradition -- and more sensible than trying to tat solid. When I saw "materials: wool" on Valentina's "Costume Decoration", I forgot my admiration of the perfect fit for wondering where she had gotten the thread! I'm wondering what a "center" is the center of -- they all look like "ornaments" to me. Too small to be what old books call a "centerpiece" [intermediate between "doily" and "tablecloth"] And I wondered about the technique of "tatting fragment" until I realized that I was overlooking a line break -- "fragment" means "detail". The designer looks much too young to have done all that! -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where the first strawberry is in glorious bloom. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
