As I tatted this pattern from the Anna Burda magazine of May 1984 today, I realised how old fashioned it is. Modern tatting tends to be much sleeker and use picots for joining rather than decoration. So be it, old fashioned or traditional is not necessarily bad!
Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteVery pretty and good to go back to how tatting used to look sometimes, just reminds us how far it has progressed.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous!!! I don't think they are old fashioned, but who says old fashioned is bad??? I like old fashioned!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are quite lovely. While "modern" tatting is nice and can be quite beautiful of itself, sometimes it doesn't look o much like tatting.
ReplyDeleteI like both modern and so-called old fashioned tatting. Your doily is very nice!
