Yes, I Really Do Tat

See...I told you I was a tatter. I recently tatted this from a pattern I got off the interwebz. I'll try to look it up for you and post the website later {Found it: http://tatslife.voskes.eu/e/index.htm }. It is tatted from some Tencel "yarn" (more like a thread-about the size of #5 perle cotton) from an etsy shop called Yarntopia Treasures. I just love the bright colorway-quite a departure from what you expect for tatting.

It's clipped to my office cubicle wall at the present moment to remind me that there's more to me than just my job. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in work that I forget that work is not who I really am. It brightens my day to look at it and remember that I am actually a much more creative person than my job allows.

  4. That's really nice! I love how the colors worked out in this piece. I recently heard that weekdays are for what you do and weekends are for who you are. Your comment about reminding you that work is not who you are reminded me of that. . . I think we all need little reminders of who we are. . .

  5. That is so lovely. You did a amazing job and the thread color is stunning. So do you tat to add it to projects? What are the tatting pieces used for when done more or less?
