Well.... a couple of observations, based on a brief perusal of my copy...
The patterns are all executed in Flanders/Binche, which is are advanced
types of lace, and require a lot of skills beyond beginner. And after
glancing at a couple of vendor's sites, I don't think "Hausdrachen" is
available any more.
The collection is definitely attractive and makes my fingers itch to
work something in it, but it probably isn't for beginners. I'd hate to
see you go to the expense of finding a copy of the boxed set and then
not be able to use it. Sorry...

I'm still a beginner at bobbin lace (under a year) but does anyone know of a simple gargoyle pattern for a square mat?----
I think there are some gargoyle-ish designs in Ulrike Lohr's box "Hausdrachen".
The designs are supposedly all dragons (except the bats, of course), but some look more
like gargoyles to me and one is snakes (Medieval dragon?).
Her patterns are generally not meant for beginners, but they usually have
excellent diagrams to help with the tricky parts. I don't currently have
access to my copy of Hausdrachen, so I can't be more specific. Maybe someone
else can look and make a judgement.
