If you love tatted lace, jewellery, plants and anything handcrafted, come back often.
I will regularly post items that are made by me, plants that I grow and interesting things that I photograph.
Last Christmas, I made some crosses from Elizabeth's pattern. I decided to see whether by joining a split ring tail, it would make a bookmark. Perhaps it is not stiff enough.
It's lovely! I'd never met a stiff tatted bookmark! The only stiff one's I've ever had are made out of material that is already stiff. Goodness, some people even use ribbons for bookmarks which are VERY ...ummmm.... NOT stiff! LOL! I think it's nice the way it is! :)
Thank you Yarnplayer and TattingChic for your comments. I wish you could see me smiling and hear me laughing out loud. It's made my day. You are both right!
hey i'd been thinking about the same question -- whether bookmarks should be stiff. but after tatting and giving away a few for exchanges, and receiving a few... i think tatted bookmarks are so refreshing (from the paper-card ones i had) and they serve their purpose all the same.
the tatted cross bookmark is pretty. happy valentine's, wendy.
Hi Alan, Thank you for your comments. Good to hear from a collector and yes, I will make more different ones. Hi Melusine, Good to hear from you. How have you been? Good?
It's lovely! I don't think a bookmark needs to be "stiff".

Hey Valerie,thanks! Good to hear. I'm thinking of making more bookmarks with tatting.
ReplyDeleteAs a bookmark collector, I think this is a beautiful bookmark, and they do NOT need to be stiff. Please make more!
ReplyDeleteWow - that is beautiful.
