Work In Progress On Wednesday- Tatting lace for a saree

Tatting , which I had learnt  around twenty years ago. I had struggled a lot to learn this craft. Though I had designed a saree and few dresses using tatted motifs, never had tried to make lace. Last week, I had been to a crafts store , where I found a beautiful multicolored tatting thread. I thought of making a lace for a saree from it. So that is the work in progress of the week.

Tatting lace I am making for a saree

This is not even half meter of lace. I have to make minimum ten meters of lace to design a saree. And also I should make some motifs to fill all over the saree. It will definitely take along time. But still I could take courage because recently I completed making a lace and used this for dress design. Here how it looks on a dress:

Tatted lace along the neck

This work inspired me to start another lace  🙂 .

As usual whatever embroidery works I have started are still in progress. I have completed the mixed media work on a box. Will share about that in coming work in progress post.

Until then,

Love, Laugh and Live the life to the fullest,
