Re: [lace] My first Puncetto motif

2007-11-09 Thread Marin Thomas
You did well for a beginer.
  My first piece was sipler than yours as I did not know how to make the 
diamond yet.
  I continued on learning by myself with very little instructions that  I've 
found here and there and by studying the way how to do by looking  at the 
picture of a finish product. Finally I've made an edge and other  small pieces. 
They are all in Flickr.com on the name bluesea5.
  I found on the web a beautiful doily made in Puncetto and I will try to  make 
it. It is very difficult because there is no base to start.

I finally finished a small motif yesterday during a mercifully quiet
day at work.

I've posted a picture on Flickr:

I used a size 26 tapestry needle and DMC size 80 cotton thread.

Best wishes,

Avital

[lace] More 'tatting' on Ebay

2007-11-09 Thread Lorri Ferguson
Someone in Florida has a nice flower pin in 'tatting'.
At least the seller does mention some uncertainty in the description.

Looks like beautiful needlelace to me.

Re: [lace] More 'tatting' on Ebay/generic term

2007-11-09 Thread Kate Henry
For the rest of the world who are not lacemakers, Tatting is the only word 
they know as a name for lace. It is generic and finds it way into crossword 
puzzles as the answer for make lace. I haven't seen any other lace show up 
as a clue in a crossword. Chantilly shows up in a song, but thats about it. 
The pictures are miserble in the auction so there is no hope of knowing if 
the lace is machine made by Schiffli or actually handmade needlelace. 
bummer. But for 2 bucks, its a good risk.
