I have been a lurker in the the challenge for probably a year now, and have gotten lots of tips visiting everyone's sites so i thought maybe it was time I show some of my things too :D I like both shuttle and needle about the same, I think it depends on the size of the work I am doing or how fast I want to complete something. I tat much faster with a needle, but if something has lots of tiny tiny rings the shuttle is much easier for me, otherwise I hve to make half a ring at a time and pull it through before completing the ring if joining it on both sides, long needles don't bend in half, lol. <br /><br />As far as technique, I picked up a quick rhythm for needle really fast, only a matter of hours, as far as shuttle, I have been working on that for a good year and a half, and I am still not what I would think of as fast, lol but I have a relaxing rhythm going and I enjoy working on something :) either way I think I would prefer quality over quickness anyhow, and that is what I really want to get down, the quality of my work, and some of it is still what I think of as sloppy. Practice, Practice, Practice !<br /><br />Happy Tatting :)Bree at "Bree's Way"https://www.blogger.com/profile/06642384252762502404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241566260129476078.post-38388221408573778552010-09-22T06:28:23.140-06:002010-09-22T06:28:23.140-06:00And I quote: "I am self taught, and I do both...And I quote: "I am self taught, and I do both needle tatting and shuttle tatting. I am not a total beginner, but I am not a complete master either."<br /><br />I am the exact same way!!!! Are we twins?!? LOL<br /><br />I learned to shuttle tat about 5 years ago, but put it away for almost 2 years. Then I heard about Needle Tatting and had to try.. I've gotten back in to tatting ever since - oh, how I missed it!<br />Now I'm having all sorts of fun ordering HDT's and tools, etc.<br /><br />There's some great stuff on Etsy.<br /><br />Your work is very pretty and coming along nicely.<br />How long did it take you to get the technique down?<br />Do you prefer the Shuttle or the Needle more?<br /><br />I love taking part in the 25 Motif Challenge, it sort of pushes me to try and come up with something different or new, but even more, it gives me a chance to see the works from everyone else - which in turn will allow me to learn new things and techniques.<br /><br />Welcome to the club and hope you have a long, happy tatting life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241566260129476078.post-71946770500831094992010-09-20T07:36:51.873-06:002010-09-20T07:36:51.873-06:00All four bookmarks are pretty in their own way.

Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Taking part in the 25-motif challenge is a good motivation for tatting and sharing your tatting progress as you complete each challenge.Tat-a-Rendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457269449603084653noreply@blogger.com
