Nope
– they have not listed Tea Pots on Parade… but on the Web Site they have listed
Crafts etc… at 1:30 PM today. And under that category is where I am fitting in.
After
a call earlier this year from ‘Joan’ I was booked to come along today to
demonstrate my tatting and all that I do related to Lace Making. Today I will show off my newest tatted pieces
that are now mounted in on my collection of older and discarded tea pots(one or
two are new).
As
you can see the tea Pots show the Tatting off in amazing ways.
Tatting? What’s Tatting some are asking already.
Tatting
is a very fine form of making beautiful lace that has trimmed the clothing and
household items for hundreds of years. It is made with a small shuttle that is
wound with cotton. Then by passing the
shuttle back and forth small knots are made in a controlled way to produce
lace.
Tatting
is very much like Macramé that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s. It is just much smaller. The same knots and
themes are used in tatting as were in macramé.
If
you would like to see more of what I do – see http://tattingwhisperer.wordpress.com/
and in particular http://tattingwhisperer.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/my-roots-in-tatting/
So
today is my day to Tat myself into another world.
My
Great Grandfather was a Tatter and he taught his three daughters to Tat. One was my Grandmother – who was maybe the best
Tatter in the world.
Now
the comical thing that happens today in my world is… tatting is not lace making
now… it is another word for Tattooing.
I
often have tattooed people come by to see my Tatting… at which time we all have
a good laugh.
On
the side – if I had more lifetime left I might have been a tattoo artist as
well.
If
you are in the Norwood area today, Peterborough, Toronto, Ottawa or wherever –
you can make it to Norwood very easily.
I would love to see you today.
Come
and see my Tatted Tea Pots.
