I have become smitten with centres. There is something I must be figuring out, but whether it has something to do with tatting or is just my own curious life learning style, I cannot be sure. Whatever; I cannot stop looking at the centres of everything. I am captivated!
Anon,
Lovely
ReplyDeleteBTW - have I told you how much I like the dahlia in your new header? I like the tatting too, of course...
Oh, dear! I see a new addiction coming! I think I'll have to start looking at centers as well!
ReplyDeleteWell....in tatting the centers are usually the beginning so maybe that is it. :)
ReplyDeleteThis makes a nice collage!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO creative!

Have you read Tatting Technique and History by Elgiva Nicholls? She has a section where she classifies motifs according to how the center is designed-- central ring, rings surrounding and empty space, etc. With newer tatting techniques, you could even add other categories besides what Nicholls proposes, like a cluster of clunies, a bead, or a square of block tatting. Fascinating stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone for the comments. I do believe this is all about new phases, beginnings ... All good and often very challenging at the same time. What else is new!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Miranda, for that tip. I have read that book and I do have it here on my shelf, so I will check out the section you have mentioned as I don't remember it. Good tip.

I never thought of that before but now that you mention it...
ReplyDeleteLOL
BTW, is that dragon-wing doily I see made with a variegated section, hmmm?
hmmm interesting study. Centres......yum.....
ReplyDeletePersonally I prefer the ones with the chewy centres and lots of chocolate............
Always enjoy reading your blog. Keep up that addiction girl!
Chocolate? Chocolate centres? There are CHOCOLATE centres? Why didn't someone tell me....
ReplyDelete; )
Try Weyler's newest treat with chocolate in the middle. LOL YUM
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was that Centers are the origin of balance; and, everything flows from there. Since you are a person who likes order and balance ~ it makes sense that centers would hold a fascination.
