Tatted Mushroom Lace
On another note, I came up with a pattern. I blame the Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. It's an adorable little game where you are a little UFO trying to fight off tentacles, wines and whatnot.

As for my inspiration....
It's still a pattern in progress.

Names... oh, names
Ok, I really need to figure out a cool tatting nickname. I mean I'm pretty jealous (in a good-natured way, of course) of Yarnplayer and Lace Lovin Librarian of their cool names, though the list of brilliant tatting-related names goes on.
I really need to figure out a good name for myself, only I suck at giving names and titles. Some might know. I mean I agonize over the name of every toon I ever played in any MMO, sometimes for weeks! (yeah, it's that serious ^^ )
So the problem is as usual: coming up with a catchy, cool and tatting-related name. Something that describes me, hopefully, broadcasting not just my passion for tatting but maybe for computers.
And no. Lovelace is a bit... presumptuous. I'm not a programmer. I play around with html coding a bit but seriously, I'm nowhere near close to her brilliance. Also, it's an already lived-in name. I'd prefer something brand new that's just my own.

Habitual Check-In
Sooo. Still thinking positive.
Caught the cold that went around in the house. I suspect our bar mixer guy brought it in, though shit happens, so it's fine.
Thing is, I stayed positive, I cooked, shopped, packed stuff away, cut hair and made lace. I got some inspiration from seeing Yarnplayer's earlier bracelets, actually!
The spiral was actually fun. I love spirals. Catherine wheel joins are really rather entertaining, though my flatmates think I'm bonkers. :D
Still, I prefer the repetitions more, and the metallic bronze beads fit quite nicely at the joins... but not at the joins really. Not sure about the little flower-like rings at the top. They are pretty, but they will be the first to be pushed out of shape the soonest.
I wish I had some sort of magical substance I could dip my work in to stiffen it up without it rubbing off onto my skin and clothes...
