"Floating" tatting

 Our daughter was trying to keep busy during a 
medical appointment she brought me to, so she 
ended up "looking" through the Dollar Tree near 
there.
She found these 4in. x 4in. photo frames.
I saw someone who had placed tatting in some 
similar frames and she knew at one point I had 
been looking for some, so when she spotted these 
she got 2 for me to try.

I took 2 views to give you an idea of how the tatting
looks like it's floating.

Now I have to get good at centering!  ;)
Have a wonderful week of tatting!!! :)

    Nice find! I too need to get better at framing. I've even thought about asking to "intern" at a framer in town. Maybe hire on at Michael's?

    Great way to display tatting. Keeps the light and airy look.

    I've put tatting in frames like that, but I've never been able to make them look right. I think I need lessons, too!

    It really looks pretty in the frame. I guess if it were mounted in some sort of stand, you could admire the tatting from BOTH sides, too.

    That is such a great way to display your tatting, could you put a polar graph on the back temporarily until you have it centered then remove it. You should be able to use a china maker or whiteboard marker (both can erase from glass) to mark the center or where the spokes should go. Having said all that I bet it does take some practice and patience.

    Thank you Bernice!! :)
    Actually, I just put it in quickly and made sure it would work, then decided to share it with everyone without really working to get it centered. ;) Thanks for the tips!!!
