HELMA SIEPMANN
Helma's tatting work is the most organic of any designer. Where everyone else loves the math of the knots, Helma takes joy in the riot of colors and picots to create landscapes and scenery that burst from their canvases with the sense of life and growth. Her work is like no one elses, and she will teach it to you in a series of books. I still haven't been able to get my hands on all of them, but I keep trying. She is worth the effort.
