Mardi Gras Mask-3
January 5, 2008 by Noreen Crone-Findlay
Filed under crochet, spool knitting and spoolknitting, tatting
I cut the mask out of plywood and painted it, then I spool knitted up a couple of feet of cord, using 2 strands of #50 crochet cotton held together.
I stitched through the holes I had drilled, picking up beads, as I attached the spool knitted cord to the mask:
This was a rather slow process, and was rather meditative.
I forgot to mention that, before I painted the mask,I did some embossing on the mask to give myself some guidelines. You can see them on the lower half of the mask.
Last summer, I tatted some lace for my daughter in law’s wedding shawl. The piece that’s in the photo in the link didn’t work for her shawl, so I knew I had it somewhere in the studio.
Ah, another search of the studio ……
Oh my! I am having server problems! the server keeps eating my entry, and it’s a bit nerve wracking! Fingers crossed that I can get the rest of this uploaded!
