Although it may lose a little of the lacey effect, you could mount the piece to a thin strip of ultra suede to keep it off of the skin. There are many pretty colors, including a nude/skin tone.

Hello everyone For bobbin lace jewellery of metallic thread that touches the skin (bracelet, necklace) I would welcome any tips to prevent or reduce scratching on the skin. A couple of us were discussing, thought silicon hand cream might help - on the skin anyway. Could the thread be coated with something protective, whilst retaining its glitter? Ideas or experiences anyone? -- Bev on a calm day in Shirley BC, near Sooke on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada latest project: ski tracks in Russian tape lace - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
