Wow...three inches!! That would be intimidating for a person to see...and think...I couldn't do that...and won't even try. And the state pays someone to demonstrate that!! I didn't know that. I am learning alot here. I still say simple is better and less scary. I have also domonstrated laces of bobbins and tatting. I hear the word "Patience" alot. Or I couldn't do that. But I think simple like snakes where you are showing the basic stitches is good. The two pair patterns of Tamara's shows you don't have to have alot of supplies and all you have to know is how to braid...using just two pairs of bobbins. I do think that most girls know how to braid their hair. Braiding in bobbinlace still shows the basic movements in bobbinlace. I think seeing something small, and less intimadating being worked on a pillow demostrating lace would be better. You can also have a finished piece of finished lace, and, or a pillow with something started on it that is more complicating to look at to show an observer what can be done. When I demonstrate I don't show off. I can't for one, being I am what I would call a novice lacer. I have to refer to a book alot still. I also don't lace fast. Going fast means people just see a blur and nothing else. I am not an expert and don't try to show that I am. Right now I am back to working on the Thistle bookmark design of Jean Leader. This is something I only work on at home. I am doing it in black with gold metallic threads. IT is giving me fits...for I really think this peice of lace is above and beyond me...but I have not given up on it ( one part of my personallity is determination)...and am still plugging away on it. If I ever get it finished I will be so happy and give many sighs of relief thinking...I DID IT!!
