Did you know that there are two types? I didn't.
Shuttle tatting:

http://www.e.n.e.btinternet.co.uk/

needle tatting:
http://www.hhtatting.com/learn.html
http://www.victoriana.com/Embroidery/tatting.htm - about the history of tatting

doll making

Tatting
As I am not now able to do crochet (hand power) I did buy a shuttle to try my hand at tatting and I just could not get the hang of it at all. I think it was because the action is directly opposite to how you do crochet. I would be interested if other crochet-ers have tried it.
Doll making
have saved one or two sites in my bookmarks.
Ribbon embroidery
Some beautiful examples there.

Those sites are really interesting to look through. I did not know that there were 2 different ways to do tatting. Very informative.
Doll making does this count?
I have done a few others but not all of them are in my Webshots. I have pictures but have not loaded them on to my computer.
The ribbon embriodery is beautiful. I have thought of trying it but how many crafts can you really do I have enough for me right now. But it is fun to look at them and see what others can do.

If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror

I used to do a lot of weaving myself, I have a loom, but not here in the flat, so haven't used it for a while. Hopefully will be able to in the new flat. When I can have all my boxes moved over, I will take some photos of the things I weaved. Although most of them were given away.

There are so many beautiful pieces and so much wonderful yarn... *sighs*
My favourite piece of batik is in a film called Possession, with Gwineth Paltrow. Its in her flat, covering a whole wall, if any of you have seen the film. Iwill try to find a photo of it.
I hope you find something worth looking at.

Yes, I know what you mean - I learnt a lot when I was putting the list together. But I have had an interest in all these since I was a girl... just never had the time to do things. Sometimes I wonder, perhaps I should have chosen a career in these fields... Wishful thinking. Anyway, I love teaching, so there is no regret there.

Well, today's lot is an int6eresting selection: one widely known art, knitting, one exotic and beautiful one, yarn balls, and one which is almost unknown.
so:
knitting

this is something entirely different, but cute:
http://whipup.net/2006/04/25/kids-yarn- ... wool-ball/
triangle point
When I was choosing the entries for the bingo, I used (among others) Wikipedia – which has an article about triangle point. I got interested, included it, and decided to look for more information later. As it appeared, there isn’t much more about it – at least I couldn’t find much… - I have fallen into my own trap, as we would say. If anyone has more info, can you please, post?

http://www.folkcatart.com/blogs/jen/?p=686
I am looking forward to your knitting pictures - you can see one of my "masterpieces" in my avatar
I used to knit a lot when I was younger, at the university it was one exam - one pullover, because I love knitting while reading. It didn't do good to my note-taking, though.
Then, when my daughter went to kindergarden, she had a new pullover/scarf/hat every week - once she told her teachers what she had heard from my mother: "Of course, I have another new pullover again, because my mum has golden hands".

yarn painting
I tried to find a site which describes how to do this – it seems quite simple, it is even taught for pre-school children, so there are a hundreds of sites – this is one example: http://www.crayola.com/crafts/detail/me ... ard-craft/
And some of the original, Mexican art:

http://128.32.250.47:8080/folkartandlit/2006/05/17

But there are not only Mexican yarn paintings:

there were so many different sites from different cultures – it was hard to choose
