		<description><![CDATA[Wendy sent me this information from her spangle research. She sent it quite a while ago, but I put off posting it in favor of other subjects. I wanted to save some for when we got nearer to the end of the Spangle Quest. I&#8217;m posting it now; think about that. 
While researching word origins [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight Wendy continues to tell about her investigations into how spangles were made in the past. These descriptions come from post-1620 sources. The methods and techniques described may very well have continued unchanged for decades or even centuries, but unless we find some pre-1620 sources, we won&#8217;t be able to know for sure. However, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, Gail J&#8217;s lace sample arrived safely.
The sharp-eyed reader award goes to Catherine K, who noticed Tricia&#8217;s completed &#8220;nightcap&#8221; in the photo on Friday. Tricia&#8217;s going to write about it so I didn&#8217;t photograph it for the blog, but I saw it in that picture and wondered if anyone else would notice. It is so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lace sample arrived from Bryce W.
Several lacers have asked this question &#8211; when you send back the sample, we only need 3 repeats of the lace motif, that is 3 scallops of the lace, not 3 of the gold + silver repeat, or 6 scallops overall.
I had an update from Mark yesterday. He&#8217;s been busy, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The bird on the blog header is indeed the same as the bird on the jacket, as Mary says in the comments. The bird on the jacket will be a little smaller, though, and the stitches may be a little different. Since we traced and Tricia worked that sample we&#8217;ve received more detailed photos of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wendy continues the story:
Time to rethink &#8211; so I went backwards and began again from the “process” point of view beginning with goldsmiths and how the metal is made.
Having done wire drawing (the process of stretching or “drawing” metal out to a longer length) and being familiar with the tools I started there. The actual [...]]]></description>

Jill,
I  have attached two photos for the “Spangles” discussion.
They show lace  bobbins from my collection ( I have been collecting tools for over 25 years) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight&#8217;s post was written by Wendy, a Spangle Quester with a background in metal work and jewelry making. I know the lacers wish we wouldn&#8217;t call the teardrop shaped metal bits that will be worked into the bobbin lace &#8220;spangles&#8221;. To lacers, spangles are a hoop of beads affixed to the end of a particular [...]]]></description>
