Like the tassels, too<br /><br />We have a huge 'recycling' store in our area that has amazing architectural pieces from old homes - entire doors, trims and moldings, and gorgeous stained glass windows , plus fabulous wrought iron pieces and many other smaller items. Wonderful recycling possibilities for those who are building or remodeling homes. I just go to look at smaller items I can afford - fun things for landscaping or for the house.Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436608725578367078.post-24104231293745796812011-09-12T10:59:58.558-05:002011-09-12T10:59:58.558-05:00Aww hey... your clunies look right fine! and I lov...Aww hey... your clunies look right fine! and I love the colors you chose! Trust me, it takes quite a bit of practice!.. Also, I just noticed... aren't those some decorated shuttles? Did you decoupage them yourself??<br /><br />I have a love/hate relationship with clunies...<br /><br />I love the design they make and add a wonderful, twisted dimension to tatting. And, I do like making them (in one sense).<br /><br />I hate them because I don't know any other way of making them, than to cut off the circulation to my fingers (and causing my hand to cramp); trying to keep the thread taut while weaving the shuttle back and forth.<br /><br />It is however, easier to make clunies with the Tatting Needle. Since the needle is much thinner than a shuttle, it passes through much quicker, allowing the hand to get relief sooner... though it's still an ideal situation for hand crampsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436608725578367078.post-1715012079892196732011-09-12T07:11:31.559-05:002011-09-12T07:11:31.559-05:00At least you can close your clunies!!!

Finding ways to repurpose items and embellish them with tatting...ooh, now there is a challenge, eh? <br /><br />Imagine an old birdhouse (or something salvaged and remodeled into a birdhouse) with tatted edging trimmings. Hmmm, my brain is buzzing with ideas!<br /><br />What adorable bookmarks, and your Clunies don't look bad to me. Rather impressive, actually!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your awesome post.IsDiharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129251975229390303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436608725578367078.post-87282462637096742952011-09-11T21:16:02.078-05:002011-09-11T21:16:02.078-05:00you never can tell what you will find when you ope...you never can tell what you will find when you open your eyes and look. the bottom drawer looks like it came out of a very old sewing machine cabinet. so thread is what it is used to holding, and the top draw maybe as well.Ladytatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333655818263465112noreply@blogger.com
