I also found a shop selling silks, and I went in to look at the different materials. There were some reels of thread, in bright colours, and as I have enjoyed tatting with LadyShuttleMaker's silk I decided to risk buying a reel and see if it would work. It isn't the easiest thread to use, but I love the result. My computer is downstairs so I can't scan the motifs that I have done so far, but I will as soon as I can.

Hello! Very beautiful tatting .. Kisses from Cannes
Those are beautiful tatted pieces! Isn't it fun to look for tatting treasures?
How cool that you got to go to that shop! That tatting is exquisite! Thanks for showing us the picture here on your blog! What a treat.
I cannot wait to see your tatted motifs in silk. I'll bet they are beautiful!
How amazing to see that beautiful tatting displayed in a shop!
Fox : )
I can't wait to see your silk motifs either. Lucky you to find that shop.
Wow, I live in Melbourne (ok, the suburbs) and I've never seen this place.... Will have to hit the yellow pages and see if I can find this place....
If you want to meet some local tatters next time, drop me a line, a bunch of us meet up every other month (roughly). (Google "Vic Tatters Guild" and you'll find us.)
Happy tatting,
Cas. =)
Hey, Cas, that is such a pity, I would have loved to meet when I was there. The supplies shop was in the city centre...I will have to ask Rosie the name and street.
Rosie lives in a suburb called Fitzroy, full of pretty buildings and shops selling vintage stuff.
