[lace] I have to share....OT and longish ;-)
My dear thready Sisters; It is no fun laughing at myself...alone. All these years, I guess I have made more bobbin lace than any other thread activity. But I do delve into other worlds. Rather recently, have been into beading and met a virtual friend who does such interesting work. For months I have resisted...but the summer doldrums have settled in and I needed the spark of something new. So I thought of getting into micro-macrame jewelry . Interesting macrame using finer, dressier threads and seed beads. Yeah a new dimension. I have the nylon cord (about the size of # 1 crochet thread...but stiffer). Open goes the book..it said to use a cork board. and to gather some spools from ribbon display of some sort and regular ball pins. Anxious to stsrt, I ignored all but the suggested cord (that I had from tatted beading). Well, before I had one knot...you guessed it! I had pinned the piece to my lace pillow, wound the cording on some sturdy lace bobbins, got out the beginner ball pins that I had..and my new interest has turned into an old friend. ;-D Here is a link to my friends photo page. take a look. Jeanne is a very talented designer. She needs to write a book.The piece first I ever saw was that white one on the bottomit was in the 'Our Readers Work section in a recent Bead and Button magazine. I have several of her tatting patterns, too. I really think she needs to try bobbin laceI am working on it ;- http://tinyurl.com/bhe6b So with a grin on my face, looking for something new, I will get back to my old friend. Happy lacing, Spiders.I am. Hugs, BarbE - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I agree, Margot...the closer I look the the more intriguing it becomes.
