Howdy all!
I'm also a period lace enthusiast and send my congratulations and
cheers to anyone that took the Period Bobbin lace class at Pensic...
and survived the weather!
I coincide with Chris in the book selection and appreciation of the
difficulty to figure out the woodcuts, but if you start with the
simple woodcuts and work progressively, complementing that with
IOLI's articles, there's a good road in front of you.
I completed the Heraldic Eagle in one of the IOLI's articles and
learned quite a bit about fat braids. I guess that can be applied
to the patterns that have lots of braids or lines coming out of
thick sections we don't know what they are...
Currently I am learning and practising a bit of Bucks point, but
period lace is and will remain my first love. P.S.: If you want to
truly drool, visit Lenka Suchanek's website for out-of-this-world
metallic lace interpretations...
Cheers,
Debora L.
