I was very amazing because my friend Nadège said my “split rings motif” is a power symbol. I had not thought of it! Even although she’s right, my idea is the figure 8. It’s an other important symbol, isn’t it? The infini! I have several ideas to come in various forms this motif. But, […]

My friend Andréa asks me for a handkerchief in an old style. I was interested in a border by Thérèse de Dillmont during the 19th century. I was inspired by this pattern for this handkerchief. The fabric is a cotton batiste and I tatted with a single shuttle. Just a little more effort!
