I have a penchant for playing video games on my computer. Particularly the ones called first person shooters. There is one called Fallout 4 (you can google it to see what it looks like) that I have been playing that takes place about 200 years after the nuclear world war. You go all over this game world exploring and killing monsters. I was doing so when I entered a bombed out house and was going through it when I saw this doily on top of a cabinet in one room.
When I saw that, I just stopped. Who has put tatting in a video game, especially one that is a post-apocalyptic type game. I just could not believe that the game creators had done that. Not so much as it is there, but that someone knows what tatting is at that company. I have been all over several different worlds in games, but this is the first time I ever saw a tatted piece in one of them. I was just totally blown away.
I do intend to try to make this. I like the pattern and I feel it should be brought to life out of the game.
UPDATE!! See Mandatory's comment. She found out this is a real doily and linked the pattern!
Mary Maynard's Small Doily
Wonderful story! Well spotted. I hope you can replicate it.
ReplyDeleteWow that is impressive and and yet hurts my feelings a bit, that my own son didn't notice this a show me. I need to make this and Frame it with a title "fall our" just to see his reaction as I say, I saw this in the game😄
ReplyDeleteand you can name it " the survivor doily" :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool, well spotted! Here might be where they got it from: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2009/marymalltathplacedoily.html
ReplyDeleteWOW, Amanda! That is exactly it. Now I don't have to figure it out. I am still amazed that someone put it in the game.
DeleteI am going to tat that!
Thank you for the link, it's a beautiful doily
ReplyDeleteHow interesting.
ReplyDeleteAt least it was a good story for a day. And I get a new pattern!
DeleteOf all the places to find tatting, I wouldn't expect to see it in a video game. I wonder if someone made it for the game or if they found a picture and used that
ReplyDeleteLook at the link I put at the end. Mandatory found it. It is the doily, on Georgia's website. I wonder if they paid anyone to use it.
DeleteI saw the link. I meant, I wonder if someone at Bethesda tatted the doily from the pattern or paid someone to make it. It doesn't look like they used the image from the pattern so they had to have had a different image of the doily to use in the game.
DeleteSo funny!
