I took a brief rest from my Rosaline adventures to make a pair of earrings from the Lace Guild UK free online pattern, designed by Jean Leader. They were fun to make & I posted a photo to Flickr. The thread is Stef Francis fine & the beads are 15*. I hope my friend who does not have pierced ears will enjoy them! Then I realized that I had neglected to post my little wreath. After taking a Frisado class from Carolyn Wetzel at Ithaca, I played around with the #4 gold passing thread & Gutermann silks when I got home. The little wreath was a big hit with a friend in Ohio. The bow is brick stitch & made with Delicas. Frisado is a Spanish needlelace that features loops of gold passing thread in various sizes, spacing & density. It is light as a feather & lends itself to jewelry & ornaments. The wreath has a 28 gauge wire rim to give it stability. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
