Re: [lace] bobbin makers - Mary Niven

[Diana Smith]

Oh yes I would second that. I have some beautiful bobbins painted by Mary 
Niven. Another painter of bobbins was Ann Jarrett who painted bottom beads 
to match the design on the bobbin. I also recall artist Heather Power who 
always travelled to lace days with Sarah Jones. Christine Osborn was another 
talented painter.
John Cummins used to make extraordinarily beautiful bobbins from 'old' 
ivory, his daughter also made a few. Mr Shaw from the North of England was 
an early maker of very nice bone bobbins.
