Coming up over the next week or two


A trip down memory lane!!!!  I decided to go on the hunt in the various boxes and suitcases with tatting in and take photos to show you.

I think I did this about thirty years ago.  I have only the 'before divorce' and 'after divorce' to go on and I know it was 'before'.

Actually I really can't remember except that it took ages and ages.  The underskirt is done in a 20 white and stiffened with PVA glue and the overskirt is in a number 80 with lots of beads.  She's not very pretty and her parasol used to look a lot less 'jaded'  and battered but that's what happens when you've been thrown in a drawer/box/moved house twice for years and years.  Wish I could remember when I did her.  

Before you ask - there is no pattern and she's totally tatted except for the hair. The beads are included in the work too.

She's a Lonely Little Petunia...and looks happy to be seeing daylight again!

That's what I thought too Maureen.

She's wonderful! (This deepens my belief that everywhere in your home are drawers filled with tatting!)

she is very pretty. just goes to show BC3 was around then too. She should see the light of day more often. What fun to be able to see some of your other work.

She has aged gracefully, lovely piece of tatting, hope she stays out in the daylight for a while longer before you shut her away in a box
