Peter, I am glad that you pointed out the surprise. At first I did not see it, and then when I did, I almost gasped! Really. What a cool shot. That first flower looks like a straw flower. I think you have a lot of those out in your wilderness, right?
Rich, You don't really put all those long pieces together. You start in the middle (see the red lace on the left? ) and than you keep working around the circumference as the diameter increases. One of the last pieces that I did was a large doily for my mother. It was probably about 20 inches in diameter. It took forever to make and was probably the last tatting project I ever did. Tatting is a slow process. It was placed on the top of the TV console. My mother always was proud to display our project.
Here is my Sunday Slider (manipulation to the max) image for today's Flickr page. I hope it brings a little warmth into your homes and hearts.
I dug up this photo from 2016.
