Hello Cearbhael and everyone
In case Jean is busy right now, I'll jump in and answer -
yes, the patterns are on paper, provided with the dvd.

[lace] Advice needed

[Karen Zammit Manduca]

I am currently playing around with patterns to work a wedding veil which I
hope to start soon. What I have in mind is something that will work up fast
because the idea is that most of it (if not all) will be lace and I am
looking at a 150cm diameter circle.
I would like to use a pure silk thread that will be equivalent to a 30 or 40
linen or close and I do need this in ivory or cream - preferably ivory
because then whatever the girls decide to wear (i.e. white or cream) then I
think it will blend in nicely.
Can any of you offer any advice please. I have looked at Threads for Lace
and tried to source some of the threads that come in close enough
thicknesses from the web but cannot seem to take any decisions because I
don't really want to purchase lots of cones before I finally find the right
quality or colour to work with. I thought perhaps some of you may have
experienced various threads and can offer suggestions.


I would also like to wish you all a very Happy Easter.

Thanks,
Karen in Malta.

[lace] Jean Leader's dvd on Intermediate Buckspoint lace

[cearbhael]

I know Jean was and probably is on this list. If I am mistaken (doubtful
lol) someone else maybe can answer my question.

 

I noticed there is a nice DVD on Intermediate Skills in Bucks Point Lace
available online. What I am a bit confused about is that it says certain
patterns are included and worked in the DVD. My question is this: Are the
patterns included in "hard copy"  (IE. on paper?) with the DVD? If not how
do you get them, so you can work along with her?

Re: [lace] Victorian lace and Bobbin hairwork

it could be a good project.


I don't know about bobbin lace techniques, but coincidentally I am working 
some of the hairwork  braids from a Victorian-era book, Mark Campbell's 
1867 "Self-instructor in the art of hair work".

They are intended to use bobbins, but he used a round table with a hole in 
the center like the Japanese maru-dai (braiding stand) used for kumihimo.
