Greetings, gentle readers,
It's been another productive week for your Shuttle Flicka. I finished a design for our local coffee shop (no they didn't ask). I took their initials in Morse code and translated it into a tatting pattern. Of the various ways it could have gone, I chose one that ended up resembling a coffee cherry cross-section. I mounted it on a small piece of granite that I backed with black felt.
They have placed it on a shelf in the shop! Our Mutual City Coffee Co. is the official coffee shop of Shuttle Flicka. The coffee, the people, and the vibe all deserve equal billing. We love spending time there. If you're ever in the Irving Park neighborhood and need coffee or respite from the world (or both), come check it out. They're open from 7am to 3pm Monday through Saturday and 8am to 1pm on Sunday.
Other pattern results would have made cool asymmetrical earrings or an interesting bracelet. I may still make them as one-offs. I do enjoy using Morse code to develop patterns. I'll be experimenting more with that in the future.
Going for an oil change is never the most exciting thing. However, it is a great opportunity for guilt-free tatting. Gold earrings were the project of the day.
I'll be pivoting to ornaments for the rest of the time up until the Christmas Bazaar on Sunday. I hope to see some of my friends there!
Until then, happy tatting!
Your friend,
Shuttle Flicka
