Katiemac's Tatting Too My tatting journey. It took me so long to learn how to tat - literally decades! Once I finally flipped the stitch, I just kept tatting, & tatting & tatting... Well, you know how that is having a tatting monkey on your back. When I'm not tatting, I'm thinking about it, or looking for a new pattern, thread or shuttle, or I'm dreaming tatting. I'm thinking blogging about tatting just goes with the rest. I went to my first lace guild meeting with many finished projects. I had envied the tatters for 5 looooooooooooooong years! They shared my enthusiasm, offered tips & praise, & encouraged me. Now, every month they're all waiting to see what new tatted piece I have to show them. Their parting words are always, "Keep on tatting!" Now, I get to demo tatting, & teach others. People always want to buy my tatting, so I think I should perfect my end-hiding so I can sell some of my tatted jewelry. That wasn't my intent, but it'll help pay for all this thread I'm beginning to amass!! LOL! Off to tat now!
My blog on my adventures and mis-adventures in shuttle tatting. I have projects ranging from the traditional doilys to 3D items, and eventually I plan to do jewelry as well.
Most of the works are made from patterns from online designers.
I have a Monthly Project, where I do one specific project and the progress of the work is posted with picture stage progressions.
I also do 'reverse-engineering' tatting, where I tat a project based off someone else's work. This is to help develop my own skills in designing, credit to the original designer always posted as well as links to their site if available. Usually these are from photograph only or 'eye candy' or from a shape or design found elsewhere and I try my hand at making a tatting representation of it.
Because a picture is worth a thousand words, my page is photo heavy.
I will be adding Ankars style of tatting to my page later in the year. Since this style is new to me I will have to learn it, but once learned, I plan on designing items with it and will make those patterns available.
El mundo de nudos de Flos Australis es un lugar para vaciar esos momentos de relajo en los que me encuentro con mis queridos hilos y lanas. El momento especial para que de mis manos salgan cosas con la ayuda de una naveta, palillos o un crochet. Ya sean diseños originales o patrones de viejas revistas o libros nuevos, cada nudo me aporta un poco de felicidad. El frivolité es un arte antiguo y usarlo en las cosas de cada día es como traer un pedazo de los tiempos de antaño a cada momento actual.
Le monde de noeuds de Flos Australis c'est un lieu où trouver ces momments de relax auxquels je me rencontre avec mes chers fils et laines. Le momment special pour faire sortir de mes mains des objets avec l'aide des navettes, aiguilles ou crochets. Bien s'il sont des dessins originaux comme si se sont des dessins de vieux livres ou magazines, chaque noeud me donne un peu de joie. La frivolité c'est un art antique et l'utiliser dans les choses de chaque jour c'est comme apporter un morceau des temps anciens au momment actuel.
