He also makes shuttles and gave me one. A new shuttle does not stay empty for long in my hands. Below is my new handmade cherry wood shuttle already wound for a project.
When I met him he had around his neck a piece of red string, attached was a short hook for joining.
He needed a lanyard and I hope he likes green beads. Happy Tatting Dave.
Wonder if that was Norm? A VERY sweet man. That's a lovely big shuttle.
ReplyDeleteNorm was there too along with a wife that knits and two lovely daughters but this is a shuttle by Dave P.
DeleteOooooh, even better - another man at the Fringe. Norm is lovely. Hope to meet up with him again sometime.
DeleteLovely display, and fun to meet a tat man :) My husband makes shuttles and lanyards with leather braiding and at the end I sometime place beads. tatting lace is just to small to do :)
ReplyDeletebut
It's nice to think their are men who tat, and enjoy doing it, lovely little shuttle. I am sure he will love the lanyard
