Pattern by Karey Solomon Lizbeth #40 #61/100
I always have been very fond of these colours, ever since I tatted this carbone ring pattern in 2010, a design by Jon.I have an idea as to how to add the lobster claw closure to this...I am working on it now...
I think I have gone to the dark side... : (
Then again, I have to ask myself why not?
I enjoy the tatting and do not ever wear what I make,
so why not let it languish in an online shop
rather than in my dark cupboard?
Is that just rationalizing,
I wonder!
It does look good in those colors.
ReplyDeleteIt's much better than keeping it in drawer, isn't it? "That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!"
You should wear some of your tatting - earrings, pins, whatever! show it off!
ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty.
I like those colors together.
ReplyDeletewhy dark side? why is selling your art something bad?
you don't have to work to sell, you can still tat for pleasure, only put those things in the shop that you would tuck away and not use or give to someone.
Seems a good use for your art. and maybe you will spark someone to learn.
Thanks! Your comments helped me settle with the idea of selling stuff.
ReplyDeleteI don't wish to do any navel-gazing on the subject, but I must admit that it is uncomfortable at first to put it out there and also to decide on the price-tag. I suppose like anything else, it will get easier, the more accustomed I become to the process.

Ooh! I really, really, really like the brown and red together! Put the price tag on... someone will either buy it or won't. If not, unlist it and try again with a different price once we've all forgotten what it looks like. :-)
ReplyDeleteTo put a price on anything is quite a challenge. Perhaps viewing other etsy stores may be helpful?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tatting. The colors are wonderful!
Go for it! I agree that pricing is tricky and it's nice to give away tatting, but give selling a go and see what happens. I do like the brown and red together.
ReplyDeleteHi Fox
ReplyDeleteIt would make a lovely bracelet, Why bit make something for yourself, and you could make one for your shop which would pay for the one you have. Pricing is hard to do, time is differcult to work out.
I don't think you have gone on the dark side, after all you are not tatting black yet
Have a good weekend, it's a bank holiday here,
Love to Gian
