After today's class session - start of the flower, top left, using DMC coton perle No. 8 - Col. 818 (Dawn Loving pattern). Introduction to Nanduti class - thru The Lace Museum, Virtual Education. Dawn Lovig is the instructor. I don't care for the teal/gold one - I'm not sure if it was color selection, or way I wove; however, not really a good look -- may need to re-do.In previous posts, I shared the types of
needles I've been using on Nanduti project.
Next --
Carrickmacross Scissors -- these are what I will use
with the Nanduti. (When cloth is cut away)
Tools: Scissors. Above "German / Stainless Steel" (my best pair, very good quality),
Below "Pakistan" (better value - nice quality)
I noticed BOHIN has some nice looking
Hardanger scissors on their site. Look like the same
style scissors.
The frame was purchased from The Lace Museum. Kit for the class.
New to my bookshelf:
I purchased this from Shawna Wachs - tho, I see Kelli Slack,
A Twisted Picot, has it on the web site (for sale).
If you are not familiar, Martha Ess had some tatted pieces from this book, on her blog.
In addition to the cover project, many ideas and patterns - how to connect different shapes, color use, etc. Gallery. Eye Candy of Nyanduti. There are more preview pictures on this site - link here. I purchased from A Twisted Picot.Got Lace? Nice Lace ideas book:
I found this while browsing Barnes and Noble book store. Amazed at the variety.Nyanduti:
