I agree the Dragonfly Pond is more of a tatted sculpture than "lace". I invented several new tatting techniques in order to make it work as a 3D sculpture. I could have made a flat tatted pond but where's the fun and art in that? :) I really just wanted to create something completely new in tatting, something that has not been done before. Thanks Susan!

The rain doll, I had not seen. She is beautiful. The tatting is equisite (I hate you). Its perfect, but not the traditional idea of lace for the laymen. It would take a more sophisticated eye to understand the complexity (and beauty) of the piece. Went to the gallery. The rain doll, I had not seen. She is beautiful.
