Spangles on the Bobbins
Tricia sent me this post for tonight:
I know many of those lacers reading the blog would like to see how we are keeping the spangles on the bobbins. Here you see the spangles on one with Carolyn’s small hair clips to hold the thread in place.
We are also adding pictures of Bryce, our speedy lace maker from the April session and her early progress.
Everyone enjoyed watching her fast hands clicking the bobbins and having the airy lace start to float off of the pillow.
I started thinking that I would have to get out my own bobbins and learn myself!

Wow. The thread is really pretty in that first photo! It shines! This is the first shot of the lace (the third photo) where I’ve gotten a really clear sense of how delicate it is and how little the spangles are. I think the hands give it perspective.
This is going to be utterly STUNNING when it’s finished!

Any time, Tricia — you don’t even need to bring your own bobbins, we would be delighted to bring a “have a go” pillow for you and others to try out a little lacemaking!
