Many people were dressed in civil war period attire, there were craft activities for the kids (making a paper "stovepipe" hat), hometown band music, handspinners as well as lacemakers doing demos, free jelly beans, even a magician!<BR/><BR/>Tattingchic, it was fun teaching because the people were really interested.<BR/><BR/>Linda, I only had time to make some cardboard shuttles and throw some of my things into a basket. But there seemed to be enough variety of tatting to make an impression.<BR/><BR/>LadyShuttleMaker, I do think some of the people will look up more info on tatting and give it a try.<BR/><BR/>Tattycat, it most definitely was fun!<BR/><BR/>Kathleen, I am thrilled that you are seeing the many things that can be done with tatting. There are a lot of new designers today that are expressing their artistry through their arrangements of this simple little knot.Marilee Rockleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229319055877477637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-63237000472492543072008-06-17T19:32:00.000-05:002008-06-17T19:32:00.000-05:00Your necklace is gorgeous, and you know, I never k...Your necklace is gorgeous, and you know, I never knew tatting encompassed so much! I remember my grandmother tatting, but she only made a few doilies that i knew of...nothing like the jewelry your make. Her work was very nice, but wow, you have shown me a whole new level of tatted artwork. It's soo much more than doilies.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301635466561126804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-239676716621023222008-06-16T20:05:00.000-05:002008-06-16T20:05:00.000-05:00It looks like you are having so much fun!
