Golly, I never saw a demo! I was quite small, living out side new York City. My older DB and I were privileged to roam for hours in the galleries and museums (while Mother shopped) and I loved the picture of 'the lady'.....then some one told me that she was making lace. Centuries passed and that was all I knew. It picked at my curiosity ....making lace on a pillow? Finally, long years later, I was visiting friends and their neighbors from England. I mentioned my funny, oft forgotten, quest and she said that is bobbin lace. That sent me to a library, DH brought home a CRAFT magaqzine with an article about....bobbinlace, by Faith Rogers. It show pictures and direction from Olive Risch (sp). The best single lesson that I ever had. Lo, these many years and I am still at it!!!

The part "I saw a demo" is quite common. I thought I paid good attention to try at home. I improviesd with bobbins and made myself a tiny roler. How I got the iedea to fill it with sand? The library had a few books that came to my rescue.
