Энтропия :)

Всем доброго времени! :)
Пока готовлю большой мега-отчёт о деятельности за полгода, вот Вам немного странноватых, но милых фото для вдохновения.
Дело было после работы, делать надо было...
А самая большая радость - это то, что Наденька-таки одолела Салфетку №12 из книги "Tatted treasures" Яна Ставаша! Вся сложность была в том, что плелась салфетка Канариасом, а он тонкий, непривычный... Не наш размерчик ;)
Моя подруга назвала эту салфетку снежинкой. Мы с Николаем Вторым в корне не согласны! Во-первых, снежинки шестиугольные... Да, это во-первых!... По во-вторых и фиолетовых я вообще промолчу... По мне, так больше ромашка...
В общем, идея в том, чтобы пофантазировать на тему, как органично смотрелись бы большие фиолетовые восьмиугольные снежинки в реальной реальности :)
И, кстати, прошу особо заценить: цвета получились правдоподобные! :)

 У нас на дворе 26 февраля, а снег тает... "Что же тут такого удивительного?" - скажете Вы. А вот в том-то всё и дело, что живём мы на Крайнем Севере, а у нас тут почти всегда зима. Холод, холод, снег... Вон прошлой зимой под -60 было, вот весело-то было на работу ходить: выходишь из дома, задержал дыхание на 10 минут, пока бежишь до следующего пункта выдоха-вдоха! А так вообще-то хорошо тут! :)
... А дальше просто "более натурального вида" относительно белые шестиугольные снежинки :) та, которая экрю - я про неё ещё напишу, это по моей схеме, да, там с ней целая история... Белая - вдохновение от "Rose de Noel" par ElisaDuSud, только последний ряд отсебятиной доплела...

 И такой контраст с натуральным снегом...

 Насновки форэва! Вив ле насновки!

 Вот было бы здорово, если бы челноки сами собой росли на деревьях... Пусть даже в каком-нибудь одном узко ограниченном пространстве... И каждый год в определённое время фриволитешники мира совершали бы паломничество в это место... Хммм... 1 апреля? В международный день фриволите? :)

Вот, пока всё. 

Готовлю мега-отчёт. Надеюсь, сегодня начну выкладывать по частям!

Урррррр!

My friend likes pineapples.

Hi!
I finished finally Renulek's Doily. It was about 20 days ago. Here it is :)

 When I finished it, I didn't know what to tat and just tatted some ideas from my head. And inspiration came! While tatting these pinapples I had an idea. When I just started to study tatting in the end of 2010, one my dear friend supported my hobby and made for me my first shuttles. Aaaaand... he likes pineapples very much! Isn't it a nice coincidence? I decided to devote this doily to him. Dimitry, it's for you!

 As you know, I'm not very keen on photography... Unfortunately... (And in English too, but I'm trying!) I made many pictures... And the first on (upper) is more real than the second one which was made with sunlight. :(

 And here is the pattern. I hope, you will enjoy it :)
I made it in Russian for my russian tat-colleagues, but I'll translate it for you :)
As you can see, it's made of six triangles and one central part.
the red arrow - joining with the central motif
the red crosses - joining with other triangles.
the green rings with arrows - the beginnings of the rounds and the direction of tatting
the black-blue line - this part is tatted individually in every coin
author - Nadia Kukochkina, may 2014.

 Here are some recommendations.
1) How to join the central part with the triangles? - look at the photo. First of all, it tatted the triangles, then - the central part, for me, it's more convenient.
2) It's not obligatory to tat everywhere split rings and split chains, but it's more comfortable. I added it to make going to the next round easier. Don't be afraid of split rings and split chains. It's a good chance to practice it!
3) I advice you to begin the center with a chain and not with a ring - it will be easier to go to the next round and to tat a chain instead of ring too :)
4) The width of long picots is almost equal the width of a chain of 16 double stiches in the straight position.

 

I hope, you like this pattern... as well as my friend likes pineapples! :)

Hope :)



 

Renulek's Spring doily and video-trend :)

Hi!

I try to keep my promise and to write about news.

Unfortunately, this spring for me isn't very effectual about tatting. The weather is awful here: -5 and blizzard and wind and cold snow brrrr.... And we are to take some vitamins... And I'm soooo tired because of my job! I have to sleep more, to work more, almost no time to tat! :( But I try to!

Some days ago I explored for myself video-blogs on YouTube. It turned out, that embroider(er)s make videos very often about everything they know or they do in embroidery and share it. They make videos about: their progresses of a week, their favorite threads, books, patterns, instruments, beads, they compare different threads, and so on. It's so interesting to watch it and to tat or to embroider at the same time! I've never seen something like this about tatting. First of all, it motivates very much, secondly, it shows different opinions and ways, thirdly, it enrich our knowledge... Why not to use? And it's so positive!
I made three videos (Russian) about tatting in this way:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2HQsqoB5H8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7e65jFYLIE (two videos about my instruments and shuttles, unfortunately, I can't download the first part)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQSHoOY54Kk (how to "undo" a chain and a ring)
It's the first experience, I don't know yet if it will be useful.

I had some inspiration and made also a very short "sample" video-cartoon about Lita. It is about 1-2 minutes, she just walks and finds something on the ground and then walks again. I won't download it, but I'm VERY proud about this my IT-progress :)

I tat a bit, but... just look! Renulek's Spring 2014 doily!

 I began it three times and finally I continue the grey one. It's the first ball.

I also embroidered a little mermaid, but it's a present and I will show it in summer with the owner.

And I read, read and read. I do like Alex Pehov. And two days ago I began to read "Fire Faculty" by Alex Kosh. I do love this man! He is handsome, his style is magnificent, his books are interesting... Oh, it seems to me, somebody is in love...

And today I decided to have one more experiment. Maybe because I'm so tired. I decided to work (a period of time) in silence without audio books, video blogs and music. The effect is fantastic! I meditate and listen to my own thoughts and many-many ideas come to me! This is the best way to relax and to create. :)

P.S. I'm not very sure about my English, but I'm sure you understand me :)

Happy tatting!
Hope.

Лирическое отступление.

Всем хорошего времени суток!

Сегодня будет небольшое лирическое отступление, ибо накипело. Баечка или как оно бывает.

В общем, если не вдаваться в детали, попросила меня одна мадам принести свои работы показать. Ну я собрала то, что было под рукой, принесла, показала, рассказала про каждую вещь, что из чего и откуда взялось.

Казалось бы, человек занимается рукоделиями профессионально, но... Блаженны несведующие! Попробуйте представить, как звучат ваши комментарии для мастера...

Хотела много написать, но я же не сплетница...

А добило в итоге: "Мне говорили, что ты плетёшь криволите". КРИВОЛИТЕ Ё-маё! Такого я ещё не встречала. Потому и пост пишу по-русски, чтобы понятно было. Криволите! Обалдеть... Похвала 80 уровня! Ладно, будем относиться к этому с юмором и плести своё криволите... ;)
 

Lita. Petite annonce.

Hi!

I’m very sorry because I don’t write very often. Really this isn’t my habit yet unfortunately.

And, by the way, I can’t answer to your posts under the messages : ( I’m not keen on blogs yet. But thanks a lot! It shows that my work isn't vain : )

For the moment I’m working at butterflies and some things for sale… and, of cause, at Renulek’s Spring 2014 Doily! I tried three times in different colors and choose white-and-green – the best colors for the North Siberian Spring.

And!

Ta-ta-ta-dam!

I have a little announcement for you!

Here is Lita (FrivoLita), my little tatting doll.

The prototype of Lita’s caracter is Trisha from Max Frei’s books and her appearance reminds my own and even (!) she has some grey hairs and also a big scar on the left arm.

She is crocheted to become a tatting “inspirator”.

We (Lita and me) have already written some stories about Lita. First stories will come very soon, I hope we will do a video. I think, firstly films will be in French, because it’s already written in French ; ) and then we will translate.

So, see you soon!

Happy tatting!

P.S. A lesson in 4 parts how to do a doll like Lita (Russian!!!)

"Fan" tatting video.

Hey!
I'm back today. Yesterday I wrote about the orange things but I'm very-very-very ashamed of my lost words and explanations. To tell the truth, I didn't find the words yet, but I did a photo-clip in details.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3Ne7L_Uzzs
Now it's on Youtube :)
Happy tatting.
Your Hope.
