Hello Carol and everyone I agree with Carol and others, it really is useful at a demo to be able to show the range of bobbin lace. I would take a simple project to work on, if not the have-a-go pillow itself, as well as another pillow with something more elaborate on it for comparison (also useful to work on during a lull). A piece of clear vinyl is tucked around it when one's attention is diverted - in case of helpful passersby.
If carrying a lot of 'stuff' would be a problem, I take just one pillow, appropriate to the setting and particular crowd, and visuals (e.g. a photo album, lace magazines, finished examples) so that visitors could see at a glance other aspects of bobbin lace. I'm sure others do this too :) On Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 4:06 AM, <nestalace.ca...@btinternet.com> wrote: > ...Once you have mastered the cross and the twist, those are the movements > you make, with variations on numbers and twists etc. ... > I usually have several of my pillows with wip, ....so that they can see > the more advanced laces.... > -- Bev in Shirley BC, near Sooke on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
