As I've mentioned before (I think!) I'm currently working on a commissioned piece of work for the lass I did the black strips for.
The task she's set me is to make a long piece of 'random' tatting. No pattern at all. This was rather daunting at first and I wondered if I'd be able to 'just tat'. The specification was that it should be between 0.5 cm to 4.0 cm in width.
Well I started off and this is what happened. I ran it by her and she said it's exactly what she's looking for.
I'm using a number 80 thread which means it's going to take some time, I think.
Hmmm... I tried random tatting once, and all I had to show for my efforts was a big mess! This sort of reminds me of a dragon!
ReplyDeleteOkay, good, I was trying to figure what it was...so glad you mentioned it was random tatting, LOL!
ReplyDeleteLike free design knitting or crocheting, think this would be a bit demanding. Not my idea of fun!

This looks like a Santa Sleigh to me
ReplyDeleteTo me, it looks like a medieval lute, laying on its side. Just add a few "strings" and you've got yourself a lovely crooked-neck musical instrument.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what she's going to do with it?
