tips off and top-secrets

I'm a follower of Muskaan's T*I*P*S blog, and you can imagine how happy I was, reading that she found the time to play with those curled - or folded - rings that I showed in my previous post.

I finished the bookmark of the month, tatted in dmc size 80 thread.

I wonder how it would have been tatting without so many people that generously share their work online. I've learned a lot from online classes, videos, sites, blogs... A big hug to all my web-teachers!




There're a lot of wonderful laces almost disappeared now, just because who could work it didn't share it.

I found an amazing site with a little known type of needle lace, hungarian, named "Halas Lace".
It's gorgeous, impressive, and .. oh well, you can add many more pretty adjectives, if you have a look at this site:

What captured my attention was a phrase that I found in this site:

"The needlework of Halas Lace is top secret; only a few, eleven in number, women and girls in Kiskunhalas know it at all times."

Eleven!!!

    Spectacular !!! And you've used them in the tail, too :-)
    I like the term "curled" rings - they do curl around another element in your bookmark !

    I totally agree with you about sharing. I have had this beef about Indians in general (though the internet is now changing that) - they don't want to share ... for them info or knowledge is 'power'. I hold a diametrically opposite view - the more you share, the more you learn, the more knowledge, skill, creativity, inventiveness grows & all in a healthy competitive environment.
    I tatted for 20 years (all alone) & my tatting remained stagnant. And in the last year & half I have learned soooo much that I didn't even know existed or was possible !!!
    So pass it forward always :-)

    That Hungarian Halas lace is a masterpiece !

      Thank you for your tips!

      It was not easy to understand what beef was for! Look at my English! I'm a little intermediate student! Poor thing! :-)) lol!
      Thank you, I think it's clear now!! (Thank to the internet too!)

      Ninetta, you are Not an intermediate student !!! You have an excellent grasp & intuition. It's simply that idioms & certain phrases/usages are very culture-specific or in any case so much more difficult to grasp in a 2nd language. It comes with more exposure & experience .... :-D

    I love that layered look, it's on my to-do list! Yes, I've never understood the wish to keep things secret, because if I learn from you, I do things in my own way, the craft develops and we all benefit. I think the internet is just wonderful for enabling us to learn from and inspire each other. Am off to check out the link, thanks.
