It's a great experience, that enriches the soul! And I'd never seen more than three tatters in a room, before! We were a lot!
Edda Guastalla was there, too. She took her beautiful tatting and tons of thread, of course I bought it! Every tatter in the world has already tried her threads, her Facebook page is the well known "Fili & Gioielli a chiacchierino".
There are many pictures on Facebook, which actually I'm using for this post, but I took only one or two! I was busy tatting and chatting!
The ladies who came, also took their lace, so we had a lot of wows and compliments to share!
During the meeting, we organized short courses, Edda taught her many ways to tat ice drops, while I offered the opportunity to learn the treble tatting stitch.
That is Edda with three of her students...
And here's me, near two very experienced tatters... I felt shy while teaching to those ladies, who - I know - make amazing things with their hands! All five "students" made it and enjoyed the whole process.
Thanks to everyone, teaching is always a "giving and receiving" experience 💕
We missed Daniela Ambrosini, who was supposed to come, but she didn't. She sent her parure and Stefania held a raffle to win it.
The next is a beautiful necklace, designed and tatted by Stefania. She also makes amazing roses with paper, I'm blessed that she gave me two of her roses, they look real! There are many pictures in her page "P&D Original Design" in Facebook.
The last, is a beautiful postcard from Rimini, Stefania is the charming lady weaving from the balcony, wearing her own necklace:
I hope that this wonderful experience may be organised again, next year. We all need to know that tatting is appreciated and alive, a lace that, like all others amazing kind of lace, should be far from being called a minor art!
Ciao,
Ninetta

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful and happy experience.

ReplyDeleteBoth displays are absolutely stunning!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments :-f
ReplyDeleteNinetta, You may not know that I have one YouTube channel namely "Kalopasak", (meaning Lovers of all forms of arts) in my mother tongue. Many of my friends asked me to make videos of Basic tatting techniques. So can you please guide me. You can suggest me perfect videos in English. I saw your channel but they are advance techniques. Please reply.
ReplyDeleteDear Alka, a simple Google search will offer you tons of videos for beginners' tatting. From my menu tab, here up in this page, you can select the page "Resources&Inspirations", there is also the link to Karen Cabrera's YT channel and the link to Georgia Seitz's page, the Online Tatting Class, with links to their videos. The OTC offers weekly help to tatters at all levels, that is the most important thing in fact a beginner needs support and guidance.
DeleteThanks Ninetta. I will definitely refer the links you suggested, out of which I saw and liked Georgia Seitz's videos when I searched on Google. Thanks once again.
DeleteWonderful display and your so blessed to show off your work with others too💖
ReplyDeleteI recall the first time I was in a room full of tatters and it was wonderful. I am glad you shared and learned some new things too. Great displays, great tatting.
