I normally do not decorate specifically for Halloween.
I’m usually way too busy with all things musical. All Saints Vesper is one of
my favorite services to sing. The closure of remembering those who have passed
away in the last year also feeds my soul. So, the ever present cobwebs and such
is usually all that I bother with for Halloween decorations.

Personally, I think I need something a bit larger for the
door; it’s that massive a door. Maybe like a wreath pattern in brown cord with
some harvest theme tatting fastened on.
Nice pumpkin, how difficult was it tatting with the cord.
ReplyDeleteEasier than the rayon thread. No really! I chose to measure out 50", leaving it CTM connected, and then just used the end of that to finger tat the DS. I used about 28' total for this one pumpkin. I suppose if you really tried hard you could wind the core section onto a weaving shuttle, but I have small hands ;) and couldn't even keep the "ball" thread straight without weighting it with a binder clip. Thank you Joan Near for that very cool tip!
DeleteDear me, you really meant rope when you said rope ! Size 10 seems rough and large to me - can't imagine a rope !
ReplyDeleteNice work, though :-)))) Like the way you added the mouth & eyes
The rope reminded me of parachute cord. Very smooth, yet took the knots. Nice to work with,
DeleteGreat pumpkin!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother suggestion, Spiders, web, but my favorite halloween tatting is Tat-Man cat sans broom. LINK
