(if you're here to see "real" tatting, scroll further down the post!)
As you'll see I'm incorporating tatting with ceramics! I have laser-cut some rubber mats that I use to press into clay. The first little green cup is made with my Snow Crystal design. It's a hand-shaped slab cup (not thrown on the wheel).
The second mat I made has two designs on it, one drawn from another type of lace (which you can see a bit of a the top of the image below) and the other drawn from my Flocon d'Or design. The lines on that one are much finer than the Snow Crystal design and I wasn't sure it would work with clay but I was delighted to find that it worked great and the detailed design imprinted very well.
I made a bigger slab mug this time to test the new design.
I glazed it a few days ago and I'm waiting for it to be fired.
Cross fingers, it comes out well with the glaze!
And lastly yes! A bit of tatting in thread too!
I'm working on a hanky edging with my one-shuttle edging pattern
which can be found here.
It's the second time I've made this edging.
There's also a video on how to make it here.
I do like a one-shuttle edging, simple and relaxing to make.
I hope you are all doing well.
Best wishes,
Frivole
