Finished!
September 23, 2012 8:47 pmI finished the red and black veil yesterday. Â This is the one in which I was attaching the lace to the tulle while tatting and it worked really well. Â I’m very pleased with the way it came out. Â On Friday night though I had finished all the tatting and just had to put the piece together and I didn’t think it was going to come out very nice, but when I put it together on Saturday morning it did!
One thing I’m going to have to play around with is what hair clip to use and how to attach it. Â For this one I used my standard clip and pointed it sideways (it’s not adjustable) because I typically wear them on my right side. Â (I like the way it looks in the back over a ponytail too.)
Next on the veil list is to make the flower to with the purple one. Â I also like this one so much that I started on another one. Â The same black tulle with a larger edging of variegated blue with black. Â I’m modifying the pattern a little to make it curve around in a circle so I hope it turns out. Â It’s a much wider edging so is taking quite a while to go around. Â It’d be a shame to get halfway around the tulle and determine it doesn’t work.
I am debating about offering it as a class at Shuttlebirds. Â Wondering if I’ll have enough time between now and then to practice and learn enough to teach it or wait until 2014. Â 2014! Â Planning classes for 2014. Â Can you believe it’s almost 2013!?!
