CM-Handmade. All about tatting. Thursday, January 29, 2015. A matter of sharing. Now I can help a bit the others sometimes. I share what I know always when this is necessary. And SHARING is actually the keyword. An other issue here. Only because we interract through bits ans bytes does not make us less real. Ask anyone and they would say the same: Me, steal? The fear of getting punished is bigger? Please, when you "share" a pattern please reflect: is it really sharing? Does it belong to you? Pinterest, F...

CM-Handmade. All about tatting. Saturday, November 29, 2014. Ankars tatting rules for a simple pattern. Please, do not make the mistake to believe Ankars means stacked rings, 3D tatting and multilayered pieces. This technique uses common tatting patterns but there are some details which make from a common pattern an Ankars piece. Work it with shiny, resistent, polyester thread (Lavsan, Isacord, Brildor, any machine embroidery brand you find as long as it is resistent, shiny, not elastic). 12 x 4 = 48 bea...

CM-Handmade. All about tatting. Tuesday, December 2, 2014. An Ankars piece is easy to recognize. I just found this piece here. You can recall it for sure) and I try to explain some of the distinctive elements. I do not touch the thread used. Only the construction elements or the foundation and the beads. 1 The stacked rings. They are caracteristic for Rina Stepnaya's Ankars orientation. There are 2 big groups of this element "ring on ring" : the ROR simple and complexe ones. Easy test for the quality: gi...

CM-Handmade. All about tatting. Tuesday, December 16, 2014. In the Ankars tehnique among a lot of other new elements, apears the use of a cab worked in lace. It does not matter what kind, what form, as long as it fits. Matter of taste too. The simpliest manner to do it is to tat a front element, with a nice center, that a back side and capture the cab /stone in between by sewing those 2 layers together or joining them by another round of tatting. The beads are optional. So there you go. I used for my tes...

CM-Handmade. All about tatting. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. This entry will not be so impressive, but it might be helpful. It is about beads tatted withing the lace and the tools you need. For the ones already familiar with the tatting with beads, sorry, no new territory. But, if you have some more hints, please share them with the newbies. These would be beads you might consider to tat at the same time as the lace. Again, sky is the limit, it is just to get an idea. Not only to sew the beads on the lace,...

CM-Handmade. All about tatting. Tuesday, November 18, 2014. For a tatting exhibition in Japan, organized by the Romanian Embassy in Tokio, I made a hair comb using the symbol of the Sakura. The pattern is, again, not the important element here, but the technique, the way I made those little beads to make the floating stamen. Material needed: seed beads of your choice, stringing tool (dental floss, beading needle, your choice), 5 paper clips. 1 Shuttle and ball (CTM). String the beads for 1 stamen. Start ...

CM-Handmade. All about tatting. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. This is for you. The solution I found for a tatting riddle. There are more of them, for sure. I mentally tatted 3 of them, I tested only one. All you need: 2 shuttles, one filled with ribbon, the other one with thread, crochet hook. Scissors. Forgot about them. I will not make any pattern I will just "show the way" how to do it. The rest is up to you to adjust. I worked with organza 0,5 mm wideribbon and 20 Penny polyester thread. Http:/ www&#...
