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.
