Lorelei, Thanks for the link and showing me examples. I like that the description mentions it is a part lace and considered the French version of Bruges Bloemwerk. I like working Bruges. So this is right up my alley! Whether or not this particular type was made in the 1830s, the general public I demonstrate to won't know unless they become too interested and I end up giving them a long history of what I am doing. Usually I stick to the basics of what lacemaking is. But some do ask for more details. That is when I get to have fun because their interest is piqued. -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tat-man.net/blog Magic Thread Shop: http://www.tat-man.net/tatterville/tatshop/tatshop.html Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TatmanBobbin
