I mostly do Torchon - small pieces.  Have been making bookmarks for the last while - thought I might include some in holiday cards this year.  :)

Cheers,

Laura

That is great Laura!  I do mostly Buckspoint and Withof, but also enjoy the occasional Torchon, Milanese, or Bedforshire piece.   I'm afraid I don't get to do as much as I'd like. 

My current project is posted.  When I find the pictures (please - no one hold their breath - my pictures are in CO and I am not), I'll post some of my older projects too.

Bookmarks are among my favorite projects because you can use them to learn something in a smaller piece.  That is not the case with Withof, however - that would be a large-ish project!

I meet regularly with two other 'lace ladies' - keeps me motivated to at least make a little lace every couple of weeks.  :)

Jennifer had a 'kit' for a miniature fan that she couldn't figure out - no instructions!  So I brought the pricking home to see if I could winkle it out.  When I do this I enlarge the pricking by several % and use much fatter threads so I can see what's happening on the pillow. 

If it works out, I'll post a photo.  But don't hold breath anyone!  :D

The latest Complex Weavers has several articles by members of the bobbin lace study group.  Fascinating!

Cheers,

Laura

I'm Clare, and I predominantly do Binche lace.  Since I have too many hobbies and a full-time job, nothing gets enough attention. 

My current project is a hankerchief edging that I've been muddling along on forever, often when I do demos or at lace days.  I periodically work on a little Torchon or Bucks to have something a bit quicker and requiring less focus. 

Happy lacing!

Hi,

This afternoon I joined Weavolution and have to explore it still to see all the possibilities. The only thing I've done now is join this group and read Laura's mail (amongst others) on the bobbin lace articles in the Complex Weavers Journal. I was one of the authors there. So if you're interested you can see some of the things I've done there. I've been making lace for many many years (40+), and just love it.

I would love to learn to do bobbin lace. Fortunately, the Chesapeake Lace Guild is in my region, but I haven't been able to make any events yet. I hope to pick up links to more info for beginners through this group.
