Even the most diligent student (me!!) needs some 'time out' now and then and mine is normally spent wandering around Blogland. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this TINY tatting at a new Australian mini blog The Needlework Butterfly a few days ago...
It's not only exquisite, it's exquisitely perfect. How this is humanly possible is beyond my comprehension. The talented mini-artisan is IGMA member Beverley-Anne Miles (she has kindly given me permission to post her photos and mention her here).
Bev is no 'one trick pony' - her other accomplishments include tiny crochet, knitting, cross-stitch, petitpoint, filet lace and beading some of which you can see on her website Miniature Needlework (you can read her interesting profile here.)
As for myself, well my new work area is finally useable and I have made a start on a little secret project ... no, I can't tell you about it yet because then it wouldn't be a secret any more!! All I can say is that it has something to do with a tree and it's for a certain very short person who calls me "Grandma'" :)

What wonderful work. Thank you for the link.
I love these mini projects for special people. So much fun. Can't wait to see it.....
Wow!! That is amazing!!! I am always amazed at how people can make such amazingly small things! :)
Thanks for your lovely comments Norma, you are very kind. As to how do I do it - well it takes a certain kind of obsessiveness and I do love a challenge!
Thank you for the link Norma, her work is lovely and I was fascinated by the beadwork in her roombox.
Wow Norma, Tatting is difficult enough isn't it, without trying to do it in miniature. Will enjoy visiting that site, thanks for showing it.
Norma, it's lovely and , to me, mpossible. I'll go and have a look at her blog. Thanks for sharing, Rosanna

Beyond my comprehension too.. incredible work! :)
This type of crochet delights me: it's called "chiacchierino" in Italian ....
Wonderful :-)
Thanks, dear friend :-)

What stunning work Norma! I wish I knew how to do that too! Thanks so much for sharing such beauty!
Hugs, Cyn xo
Her work is exquisite, Norma! She must have fantastic eye sight. Looking forward to seeing your tree project. I hope that school is going along well and that you are not tiring yourself out too much.
Ah, come on Grandma ... I promise I won't tell ... what are you up to!
Sorry I've been away so long, but I can finally sit again without folding unnaturally at the knee when I try to get out of a chair! The tatting is exceptional, and ever so lovely!
That is mind boggling indeed! I know some miniaturists, and have painted the odd one myself, so I recognise hours of eye twisting detailed work when I see it.
Amazing!
Cheers,
Cindy
