As I said, I've been tatting. I believe this project is appropriate to show you with this tribute to Gina as it definately will depict the continuation of life and our art. Here is a look at the next project...
I'm working on a baby bonnet....and of course, I'm not following anybody's pattern. I am using a couple patterns published out there for the base of the work. You may recognize the 'Down the Garden Path' by Pam Palmer as well as pattern #50 from the Catherine Austin book "A New Twist on Tatting". I'm combining the patterns to create the top of the bonnet.
I will then create something for the back of the bonnet. I hope to begin that part later tomorrow or later in the week. I may have several questions as I approach the back.
I'll check back in and keep you posted on the progress.
Until then, please be safe and treat yourself with respect!!

You amaze me, John! I have enough trouble following an individual pattern. I can't imagine combining patterns. What you've done so far is gorgeous! I look forward to seeing the finished bonnet.
ReplyDeleteWhat you've done so far is magnificent! Will look forward to seeing the finished bonnet.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, John. I'm making a pair of baby booties, R. Jones, and am wishing I were done so I could start next project. Booties don't take near as long as your bonnet. You amaze me with the skill and patience to design and make such a treasure. Karen in OR
ReplyDeleteJohn, your projects always knock my socks off! This piece is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt looks elegant already! - but without a pattern, how on earth do you know how long to make it?
ReplyDeleteI like what you've done sofar because it's a lot more 'solid " than many of the older bonnet patterns.
It's absolutely fabulous ! You are a very patient man:)
ReplyDeleteHi John
ReplyDeleteI am totally amazed with your tatting, I am wondering how you know long to make to strip, the patterns you have put together are looking lovely, I can't wait to see how you tat the rest.

Your tatting is unique and always a surprise. This is going to be an unusual and fantastically tatted work of art. Looking forward to the next instalment.

It's looking really nice, John! The center edging is one of my favorites, which is funny because the first time I saw it I didn't really like it.. That is, until you tatted it and I saw how nice it looked! Can't wait to see how this turns out! ^^
ReplyDeleteJust joined in to follow you John...thanks for the tribute to my friend and brief acquaintance Gina. Second, I am so impressed with your tatting, I guess because you are a man and your tatting is just beautiful. It's also what you do with your tatting that I find quite impressive. I sometimes need to look at other good accomplishments to help give me ideas of my own...hope to see a lot more of your tatting..! Why my picture does that, I have no idea...!
ReplyDeleteIch finde das sehr schön. In Combination mit einem zarten Stoff...Das ist was zum vererben.Danke für die Idee

John, just wanted to say your Tatting work is amazing. All your pieces are all so beautiful. I want to learn how to do this now. :-) I am an experienced crocheter so I am thinking maybe it won't be too difficult. Are there any sites or books you could recommend for learning? Maybe sites with some free patterns to start. Are you self taught? Well thanks for your time. Your work would look great on period pieces in movies. Its so good. Thanks, Debbie
