Hi everyone,
First Question: Does anyone know, for a fact, if there is an official
mascot for tatters? If so, what is it, when was it made official and by
whom?
Many have used the hedgehog, as it seems to be the mascot for lacemakers,
with it's quills that look like straight pins in a pin cushion on a
lacemakers pillow. Since tatters are now considered lacemakers. Others say
no, it's the spider with it's web. Also Mark (Tat Man) has drawn up some
very cute shuttle characters. Then there is the story of the pink and green
shuttles (lovers).
So can any one say for sure if we have a mascot?
Next question: If no one can prove what our mascot is, what do you say we
get busy and find one and make it "Official"?
Any tatting historians out there? This discussion can go on for a very long
time. So - - - Let's give everyone until April 30th, 2006 to come up with
proof of an official mascot. If no one can come up with proof of an
official mascot then we'll start taking suggestions and ideas for one.
Maybe Mark can jump in with a drawing or two. (Hint, Hint). We already
have, spiders, hedgehogs, shuttle characters (which we would have to get
special permission from mark to use).
Later, if need be, we'll get a panel to choose a few finalists, then vote.
Now, start digging for proof of an official mascot and thinking of ideas,
if proof cannot be found.
Also if I've missed any tatting groups out there, please pass this message
on. We want every one to have a say.
(As if I don't have enough things to do) LOL
