2 things

[ex-shattered767.livejournal.com]

First: I sat down, looked at my thread exchange samples, and realized I won't use most of them (I honestly find tatting with size 5-20 thread uncomfortable, and unfortunately using fine tatting cotton has the same problem plus I have a hard time seeing what I'm doing). I've got some other bits as well - anyone want an envelope with random thread sample lengths?

Second: does anyone have recommendations (links?) for a tatted fan pattern (one of the ones I'd have to attach to a folding fan frame thing)? I've decided that's what I want to try for next year's state fair entry.

If you've really no use for it, I can find uses for them.

What, if anything, would you like in exchange?

http://www.lacet.co.uk/ has a fan pattern, and there is this thing http://www.lecurieux.com/Frivolite/frivolite.htm which I'm admiring for a long time already without really getting it.

Here's one by Rosemarie Peel.
Adrienne's fan
Jane Eborall has a pattern that's not applied to sticks, but it looks like you could play with it to make it bigger & apply it.

Just email your address (shatteredshards@livejournal). I don't want anything in exchange. :)

That second one is gorgeous - it doesn't even look like tatting until you study the close-ups!
