The second class I took actually encompassed two sessions, and I know I needed both sessions to get started!
I have been fascinated with beaded tatting for ages, but I needed a jump start to get me going. Boy, did I jump in!
This gorgeous Interlaced Necklace kit was part of the class,
which was taught by the talented Nina Libin! Yes, the pattern takes concentration, but thanks to Nina, I think we all walked away realizing that it's really not difficult.
I don't know who this lady is wearing glasses. ;-)
During the second session, I sat with J.B. Locke (the lady in blue and NO glasses!), Karen Parent, and Sandra Eichelberger. There was a lot of storytelling and laughter, with Nina gently shushing us every now and then.
Mimi Dillman was helping Nina. I feel very lucky that I met so many famous tatters!
I had to take pictures of all my classmates.
However, I was not good about learning all their names,
and we were so busy, there really wasn't time to wander from table to table and get to know each other.
I took a picture of Sandra's progress in gold and black.
Mine is in blue and clear/silver. I should have made much more progress, but when I went to join the silver ring to the first blue ring, I realized I had too many picots in the first ring. I'll bet you can guess what I did! After I closed the first silver ring, I realized that I had tangled the threads and my shuttles with blue beads were on the wrong side of the ring. Once again, you know what I did!
I know when I work on this, I will need to be sitting at the table. I don't want to wait too long. I want to keep going while I'm motivated!
