Hi All, Sylvie asked about ideas for lace jewelry. I made a choker necklace in Battenberg combining gold tape, black tape with a gold thread in it and black Mettler sewing thread (the only thing suitable I could get in town immediately). It looks very nice if I do say so myself. It's a fairly geometric design since I'm not too frilly.
It's about an inch wide and I do look good in that style. However, a half inch wide (1-1/4 cm) looks great if your neck is not too long. Some of the beautiful insertions I've seen you BLers make would be lovely. Not very conservation minded but good for Devon's Campaign for Modern Lace! I also have a NL flower that I wear on my cotton sweaters. I've made a few of those to give away. I also designed a star for my Goddaughter who does not seem too flowery to me <G>. A swoosh or curlicue would make a nice pin too - any thread, any color. If you were willing to put a lot of time into the piece the designs I've seen for Withof would be lovely! I also wear a lot of scarves, particularly in winter. How about a motif on the corner of a scarf. If you made a triangular scarf the lace could even float over your skin (in the summer) giving it more depth. Or you could sew the lace on to the scarf and not cut out behind it.
