Has it really been 2 weeks since the last post? Mmmm Guess I
didn’t realize how little I’ve been keeping up with. Or, I have been juggling
too much on the calendar.
I cut out a good bit of tatting on 1 project, haven’t
figured out yet how to finish a second, rearranged the creative “stuff” in the
house, and been supporting creative folks in the community. I promise to write
posts on those activities soon.
Today, I’ll be reporting on yesterday.
What: Tatting display with examples of tatting from all over
the world.
Where: Lacis in Berkeley, CA
When: Only a few short hours looking at the tatting after
many long hours in the car driving there and back.
How: Thank you Joan and Zanie for helping pull off this
adventure!
The display was wonderful. I’ve seen photos of many of the
pieces on my computer screen. I recognized almost all of the names. So, seeing
the tatting in person was just plain awesome. Plus, there were quite a few
impressive vintage pieces. Not much information for the curious on who tatted
with what thread from what pattern. But, the museum does their best to curate
what they have; and their focus is lace which includes tatting and all things
lace. If you can find a way to Adeline St., please do. They are only open from
Noon to 5 PM which makes avoiding traffic a bit tough, but the journey was
worth it.
