Tatters now this to be a truth. If you don’t prepare your shuttles well, you end up with kinks and twists and ugly DS. If you don’t prepare where to hide ends, you end up with bulges and extra thread and maybe even glue blobs. If you don’t prepare the beads on the thread around your hand, you end up without beads on the picots of your ring. Preparation is important.
I spend some time
last week preparing to loan items for a show in a local municipal gallery. It’s
tedious labeling your lace. It takes time to fill out forms and assign value
and give credit where credit is due. Oh, and the Artist Statement. Yeah. It all
takes thought and time. Don’t get me wrong. It’s worth it. 100%. I hope we
tempt other people to investigate tatting with our local group. Or at least
watch a video or two.
This week I’m
preparing my donation for the Art of Music. Just a few more elements, hide
ends, block, photograph, label and document, and then take that deep breath and
hand it over to the wonderful volunteers. (I found out last month that my blog
is read by some of them. Gulp! Thank you!!) I hope it helps to raise lots of
money!
