Tatting Mentioned on Fashion Police

On a recent episode of Fashion Police, Joan Rivers asked Martha Stewart, no less, which craft she couldn't do, and she answered, 'Tatting'.  How cool is that? She said she'd been trying to learn it but couldn't get to grips with it. She also explained that she was talking about a kind of lace making, not tattoos.  If some of you American ladies could give Martha some tips, it could be a big boost for tatting!

  2. Martha Stewart has enough money to pay for a really good private tatting teacher. In fact, I'd be willing to cross the country and teach her if she'd pay me!

  3. Glad to hear that tatting got some publicity! Would be nice if she would do a segment on tatting with contemporary tatters and their works featured.

  5. I have lost track of Martha and had no idea she was on this show. (In fact, I wasn't even aware of this program!) Apparently the episode is on video on the internet, but I'm not comfortable with some of those video sites.) I'm amazed you saw it - and her reference to tatting! It's pretty profound that she admits she can't tat, so it really must 'bug' her! I just discovered she has a blog, so I suppose it might be one way to 'kind of' contact her about tatting. But who knows if she is writing the posts herself or even paying attention to comments (I'm very cynical these days). I can't imagine she has even one second to sit and tat - although there are those long plane rides as she travels around the world! Thanks for bringing this to our attention! I loved Marty's comment!
