Eggs, eggs, eggs: (tatted
Easter eggs)
1992 I wanted to make an
Easter shrub with tatted eggs. My son Sandro
watched for a long while. Then he meant that it would look better, when the eggs were many colored as he knew by my embroidery. At last he asked me, if I could make motifs like (for example)
hares.
A few days I brood over his stimulation, than I began to experiment. The results were very promising and the beginning of my passion for
Easter eggs. At last they stock in boxes
everywhere in our basement.
Some years later I found a book from Helma Siepmann about Creative Tatting. By reading in it I got a lot of new stimulation. Soon I was persuaded by an organizer of
Easter markets to show my eggs. I was surprised by the success, so I stayed until 1997. Then I hat to stop by sickness. But I couldn’t rest my hands for a long time and I started again in
2000.
Here I want to show some of my parts. To avoid long downloads I use thumbnails. By clicking into the photo or on the text below you can load the original photo.
