Frivoles Petits Plaisirs - Tatted little treasures

<p><strong>CONTEXT</strong></p><p>Hello, my name is Cathy and my artist name is Canarithy</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/474294/18813841_10214167510888892_4393786453513321898_n-1513592177.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I knew how to knit, crochet and sew before I could read and textile art is almost a family gene. I&#39;m also a clothes pattern designer&nbsp;and I love to learn and teach.</p><p>Searching&nbsp;new techniques, I discovered <strong>Tatting</strong>&nbsp;3 years ago. Unknown in my country, this technique is mainly practiced in Japan, tNorth and South America, Italy and many other countries.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/476073/2017-06-06-12-04-49-1514930956.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I learned it as a self-taught teacher and I realized that I had a gift for creating new patterns.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FdpkVGDXNDZw%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DdpkVGDXNDZw&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FdpkVGDXNDZw%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=cb39d84f05d8439bbe96012f078e02b0&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Most people who practice this technique follow patterns they find in books and on the Internet.</p><p>While joining&nbsp;Facebook groups on this subject, I also realized that tatters tended to do&nbsp;the same subjects all the time, due to&nbsp;lack of innovative patterns.</p><p>When I launched a brand new one&nbsp;during a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1904280493234416/">happening</a>, I realized tatters where happy to try a new pattern.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/474308/IMG_20171115_203252-1513600806.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A few months ago, I contacted the editor&nbsp;who has a&nbsp;monopoly on books&nbsp;about&nbsp;textile techniques and offered&nbsp;my services. This editor&nbsp;replied that he already had 2 new books in preparation and did not intend to release a third. I thought that if he published two books, there must be some demand&nbsp;... These two books are now published and contain no innovation, neither on the form, nor in the content.</p><p><strong>WHY WILL THIS BOOK BE SUCCESSFULL ?</strong></p><p>By sharing my <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.815339981929159.1073741839.104839346312563&amp;type=1&amp;l=e45cf42694">achievements</a> on Facebook groups, I found that they were successful and I said to myself <strong>&quot;why not publish a book myself?</strong> The Facebook groups that I know exceed 90,000 members and there is in Belgium a huge&nbsp;margin of progress&nbsp;since the technique is barely known. So I started giving classes,&nbsp;promoting them in&nbsp;craft fairs and via Facebook. I created a group &quot;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1043981899081588/?source_id=104839346312563">Tatting&nbsp;in Belgium</a>&quot;.</p><p>There is also a growing attraction for DIY in general and DIY textile in particular.</p><p>This is&nbsp;why I think&nbsp;a new tatting&nbsp;patterns&#39; book with added content (ie with videos that can be seen only by buying the book and registering),&nbsp;in an innovative form will be a success, first abroad and then in my country.</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/474310/_gickr.com__22896d49-33cd-a134-31fd-0e76a7963a30-1513600832.gif" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
