You know how it is with most
Japanese/Korean blogs – such beautiful tatting, yet it is near impossible to
leave a comment there. Thought I’d take a few minutes to ‘introduce’ a couple
of such bloggers.
Recently I stumbled upon a
prolific & skilled tatter ‘moondrops’ and scrolled back to all her tatting posts. Wow! She has made so many large projects and multiple times ( Mystery Doily, many magic square patterns), too! Do
take some time out to visit her blog and be amazed. And it tickled me pink to see Ninetta's treble triangle motif and also my spiral snowflake worked just as beautifully.
Then there’s sekiraralace. You
just Have to see this cute yarn ball bag she tatted. Such a simple concept
really – 2 small doilies/coasters attached with an insertion! Check it out. I
did manage to leave a comment there by clicking on the heart sign, but it shows
up only as a number….I couldn’t retrieve my text, but hopefully she got to read
it.
Now here’s a site that gets me
laughing. John Atkinson is just so creative with his hands, brain, words,
images! Nothing to do with tatting, but a good dose of intelligent (mostly) and irreverent (always) fun. From the time I came across it a few months back, I wait eagerly for his next cartoon.
And last but not least, Helen
Walters created an entire wreath of poppy ice drops (my secret fb correspondent
sent me a screenshot) inspired by my
tiny heart poppy which in turn is a 3D adaptation of Mónica Manceñido’s
heart!!! Isn’t it fantastic how patterns move and inspire?! The poppy ice drop
pattern is now shared on the Shuttlebirds site.
I read that this year jute poppies
were sold/gifted in the UK
I absolutely love the poppy flower - the colours, the elegance, the independence! Should really make an effort to tat this one again and diagram the pattern properly.
till next time, then .... have a great weekend with tons of
tatting for the coming season!
