Greetings, gentle Lacemakers!
As some of you know, I have been working on a "magnum opus" since
October of last year. I have been working a piece in Flanders, designed
by Anne-Marie Verbeke-Billiet, and finished it last month. I finally
remembered to write to her and obtain permission to post pictures of the
lace for all of you to see. She has not yet published the pattern, and
I was reluctant to post pictures without her permission. This morning,
I received an email giving me permission, so the photos have been posted
on Arachne's webshots page.
I failed to give technical details when I uploaded the photos. The piece
was made with Egyptian Cotton 70/2. It required 350 bobbins with 25+/-
additional bobbins for gimps. The gimp was reeled silk from Bart and
Francis, worked in multiples which varied according to the perspective
of object in the piece. The finished piece is 16" wide by 5 1/2 inches
high.
