I have popped two articles (thanks to john Cropper) on Arizona: https://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html#webdocs
One is a pretty detailed review of East Devon Bobbins that i have sat upon for long time. The Lace Bobbins of East Devon, 22 pages The other is just a brief stab at trying to identify decorators of East Devon Bobbins (Failed!) I hope someone might be stimulated to do some work on this difficult area of East Devon bobbins! A Quick Analysis of Decorations upon 'Pale' Wood Bobbins, Just as a PS. I have notice the huge prices that even moderately well decorated East Devon bobbins are fetching. I have reasonable collection of these bobbins, but I am always willing to receive gifts of bobbin photos of well decorated East Devons, particularly ships and âsort ofâ Line drawings of people and scenes of social significance... but frankly... anything! I do not have particular ârulesâ for pictures but if you think you have something that might be of special interest I can offer a few guidelines that might help me. You will notice that I have a technique which flattens out âCylindricalâ bobbins so we can see it all on a flat page. That is where your pics can help. I do ask that you give me permission to use the pics in articles i write and please be assured I will not use any of your gifts for personal pecuniary interests.
