Wow, that takes me back! As a lover of all things crafty, I can't resist trying out all kinds of different techniques, so still have a few similar examples of tatted lace I created way back in the early seventies - and yes, that does sound ancient! 😂
What a beautiful illustration for the word! I have some things that my grandmother tatted, and every time I look at it, I think how much time and effort went into that! Your friend must’ve really loved you
@jenirainbow Thanks Jeni- I'm sure yours are just as lovely. It is quite an art.
@grammyn Thanks Katy! She was an interesting gal. Flaming red hair, feisty personality- the total opposite of me. She took up bassoon, taught herself Russian and how to tat just because they interested her and no one else was doing them! Sadly we drifted apart because once I married and she was still single, it was her opinion we no longer had much in common. I didn't think so, but that's the way she was- very "black and white" on many topics.
She sounds like an incredibly fascinating person. A real renaissance woman by the sound of things. It’s a shame she didn’t remain your friend. That was her loss.
@grammyn Aww- thanks Katy. Yes, it would be really interesting to see what happened to her. I heard she eventually married- a man much older than her (not that that matters after a certain point) which I could see being a good thing as she was always "older" in the way she thought and acted. That was about 10 years and two children after me. I just hope she's happy and well wherever life brought her.
