A few months into my apprenticeship I found a medallion of my union’s insignia from 1906 For the last year and a half it’s been in a little box with a bow, a present for myself for when I’m finally a full union member Today it came out of that box and I wore it to take my oath at the union hall
A silver medallion with the Theatrical Protective Union Local Number One logo dated 1906 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the union (now IATSE Local One)

I dated a 5'8 guy who'd taunt every jacked, 6'3 bro he met until they'd pull their fist back to beat him up, whereupon my ex would go
"heyheyheyyy c'maahn I'm a little guy, I'm just a little guyy, noo, it's also my birthday, I'm a little birthday boyy" & it somehow always worked

Here’s the Snace (snake lace) now finished! I’ll probably share more photos on a variety of backgrounds to highlight the contrast between the stitch colors, but I thought this did a good job conveying how background color transforms two-toned lace
Two toned lace on a two toned background. The top half is on black and shows the snake motif in higher contrast than the bottom half that is on white

My snace aka snake lace. It’s a black and white lace pattern that shows a motif of two snakes with a sun in the middle. It’s on a blue and white patterned piece of fabric. You can see the approximately 50 bobbins on the pillow

I believe tatting just refers to a particular style of lace making. This is bobbin lace vs a technique like shuttle tatting (see the attached photo)
