Just received a copy of Rosemary Shepherd's self published book "Bobbin Lace Fantasy Flowers" and can't wait to start on them.
I had been waiting eagerly for this to be published for some time. Obviously Rosemary has had trouble with publishers - I'm sure she wont mind me quoting what she says in the forward - "Like many lace authors, I have had enough of the loss of control and the poor financial return that one experiences with professional publishers. No doubt their productions are glossier than anything I will produce, but they are also much more expensive and often beyond the reach of many lacemakers, particularly the young ones, without whom our beautiful craft will have no future." The book contains directions for 14 different three dimensional flower forms "with the emphasis on imagination rather than reality". Like her "Introduction to Bobbin Lacemaking", the book is well presented with lots of clear instructions, diagrams and prickings. The book can be purchased direct from Rosemary - go to her website at www.lacedaisypress.com.au. (Lori - there does not seem to be a link to this on your site) I hope spiders won't think this is advertising, I have no connection with Rosemary, but as the book is self-published, I thought you all ought to know about it.
