Internet and Tatting

It has been a long 3 1/2 months with no Internet but they finally came today and we now have satellite Internet. It has been horrible not being able to keep in touch with my Tatting friends and write on my blog. Now I am going to be able to post on a regular basis and enjoy all that is Tatting on line.

Here is a picture of my latest Tatting and a quartz crystal ball that we have that has water inside of it that has been there for thousands of years. the ball is about 7 inches wide and came all the way from Hawaii.

I look forward to sharing a lot with you and hope that you will once again start to follow my blog.

The Joy of Tatting

It is amazing the growth that tatting has has gone through over the years. When you think of how tatting started out as trim and doilies it has sure evolved into an art form that I think has more uses than was ever thought of just 50 years ago. Just take a look at some fellow tatters blogs. We have people creating jewelry, 3 dimension objects like a ginger bread house or chess set, Christmas ornaments just to name a few. Unlike the threads of old we have threads with amazing shades of colour and unique Hand Dyed Threads which blend colours in an amazing way, making sure that the item you are tatting is truly one of a kind. With the wonderful invention of the Internet we now have access to online classes with tatters from around the world and new tatting methods spread across the world in a matter of hours instead of weeks or months. We are also able to share our tatting with an audience that we would not have had access to 20 years ago. Is tatting a dying art? NO WAY it is a growing art and I am very happy to be a tatter at this time when it is progressing so fast. So pick up your shuttles or needles and take part of the tatting revolution. We are growing and we are having a blast. Well I am at least.
