Tatting is such a beautiful and delicate art and TotusMel has brought it into this decade. Not only does she sell amazing pieces in her Etsy shop, but she also created a challenge for all of us wannabe tatters to create a design using one of her tatted rosettes. You can see the designers submissions at the flickr site listed below. The contest was limited only by imagination and the results are amazing --clocks in books, steampunk, and other fantastic designs. If you have never really looked at tatting, or thought it was only for grandmothers...you should look at the beautiful pieces listed in TotusMel's Etsy shop, link is listed below.
