What do I do with prickings?
Several fat three ring binders. Each lace I try goes into the binder.
Drafts, sketches, actual pricking, 6 inch piece of the lace, notes. I like
some when I'm making them, others not. Some are too much work for the
effect. Others are simple to work and gorgeous. Maybe I'll like some better
later, and all the work is done and waiting. There's a drawer full of old
parchement and paper prickings to try later, and a file drawer in the
cabinet, a basket full in the hallway, and another big notebook with
prickings ready just because they are pretty, but other things come first. A
good share of my lace books have prickings prepared and stuck in as
bookmarks. I treat myself to making up a pricking, then other chores
interfere. So they wait. Sometimes just making the pricking is enough
without adding the thread.
I'm gathering a box of antique prickings to share on ebay. I know I won't
get to make even a sample bit of most of them in this lifetime. :))
