Growing Girls and Roses...while trying to prune life's thorns and keep all the roses. Somewhere in the midst of all that...to create beauty in my life through Art: Tatting, Crochet, Crafting, Sewing, Baking, and Gardening.
These two are simple, but there is a beauty in simplicity that is well executed. Grandma's work was certainly that...
These circles are two sided, with the seam inside and the tatting carefully attached to the edge. I don't know how she managed these...they are absolutely perfect circles.
All of her work is wonderful! Everything was done to perfection and she was also blazing new trails. I'm so glad she is now getting recognition through your blog! She would definitely be amazed to see this unprecedented revival of tatting in this computer age!
She would be thrilled I think...I know she would have loved to play with the patterns and techniques available now, she would have loved things like Marilee Rockley's new book and Jon's snowflakes from last Christmas.
Thanks for showing us your grandmother's tatting. I am enjoying seeing them. She did very good work.
