I've had a quick search through the obvious places I might find a dolphin or bobbin pricking, and found the following dolphins:
'Lace' No 78 (blue cover) April 1995 - 'Arion astride the Dolphin' by Freda Bull 'Lace' No 99 July 2000 - two dolphions, one staight, one arched '100 New Bobbin Lace Patterns' by Yusai Fukuyama - simple outline dolphin with a leaf for an eye on page 27 I've found no prickings for bobbins so far. But while looking, I came across a pattern that is of a similar ilk to Miss Channer's Mat. In 'Lacemaking' (the newsletter of the Lace Society) No 148, May 2000, there is a floral Bucks Point mat measuring 8 and a half inches (22 cm) by 6 and a quarter inches (16 cm) which takes 170 pairs of bobbins. Designed by Emlyn Peacegood, it's described as being "suitable only for the experienced Bucks worker". So anyone who was a member of The Lace Society in May 2000 already has a challenging Bucks Point piece.
