The garage is getting a little warmer so it is time to make more shuttles. They will be mainly pop-a-bobbin ones but we had a special order for some ebony post shuttles, one of which I have photographed on a white hyacinth. Actually they are going to a customer in England who could not find any wooden ones in our part of the world. Not a brilliant photograph, this morning is dull and it is drizzling with rain. This shuttle has a dimple on the top and bottom so that you can comfortably hold with your thumb and finger without them slipping off.
The next two have also been promised and will be setting off on their long journey any day now. This time pop-a-bobbin ones, a Cocobola Rosewood and an Olive shuttle.
I really do need to get back to tatting but there doesn't seem to be any spare time at the moment.

Beautiful.
ReplyDeletePop- a-bobbins have always been the only bobbin shuttle I get along with . "One Day" I will ask for a new one.
ReplyDeleteThe shuttles are beautiful as always! I hope you find some more time for tatting!
