[lace] Rosaline Perle
Hello All! With counseling from Bev, I was finally able to finish a small Rosaline motif, Lesson 2 in the Geelen book. Lots of wonky areas but I learned a lot! Rather than a square tally, I made a small perle & suspended it in the center with Russian/Herringbone stitch using #28 tapestry & #11 sharps needles. It might be worth a try to make a larger perle to cover the entire opening because it would be easier to sew thru, catching the edge of the inner ring. Making the perle turned out to be quite an adventure because of the long length of thread needed. There must be an easier way, but I don't know it...yet! It's posted to Flickr, warts & all. My neighbor just got married so I plan to use it to decorate a small candle jar, a token gift. More IOLI library books have arrived so it's time to learn something new! Hope everyone is well & making more lace. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Rosaline perle
I haven't tried Rosaline (that's one for the "when I retire" list) but I do use Bayeux bobbins a lot and sewings are no problem with them - they are my go-to bobbins where honitons are too light.

Re: [lace] Rosaline perle
Thanks Nancy for confirming my thought that the Bayeux bobbins are a good weight for this lace. This could be an interesting experiment as I sample Honiton & Bayeux bobbins.

Re: [lace] Rosaline perle
Hi Susan, I'm no expert but I really love the Bayeux bobbins. Being long simply means that you need to unwind more to get a big enough loop to get the bobbin through, but not by much. They are just the right weight for your thread, and they don't have knobs, bumps, beads, etc. to catch on threads. I've done sewings with them and like them even better for that than even my beloved Binche. Personal opinion of course--YMMV, but that's my vote!

[lace] Rosaline perle
Hello Again! My next project is to work with two books that I got from the IOLI library (Rosaline Lace by Eemans-Moore & Rosaline Perlee by Geelen) to supplement my book by Judith Cordell. Before I dive in, I need to select appropriate bobbins & of course, I don’t own Rosaline bobbins! The thread is specified as 100/2 or 120/2 Egyptian cotton & 12 or 14 bobbins are required. I have Honiton bobbins & Mechlin bobbins (with beaded shafts). The Honiton seem too light & the beaded Mechlins are not fun for sewings. I also have Danish, Midlands & double head Dutch & they seem too heavy. The Bayeux might be the correct weight but seem too long & unwieldy for sewings. Are there any suggestions from the experts? Many thanks for any advice. Sincerely, Susan Hottle Sent from my iPad - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Rosaline Perle and Rosaline Perle 2
Regarding Susan Hottle's enthusiastic response to discovery (in Ithaca New York) of two Rosaline Perle books by Judith Cordell - they are helpful not only to makers of this bobbin lace, but also for explaining to collectors how this lace is constructed.  The contemporary floral motifs and projects are charming, and the step-by-step instructions are clear.  Only 14 bobbins are required to work these motifs, and there are no thread ends to deal with.  The photos and explanations of how to make the tiny perles with a threaded needle (not bobbins) are particularly interesting.  Yes, they do resemble pearls.  These, by-the-way, might be used in original ways on other laces or embroideries.  Cordell's first self-published book was printed in 2011, ISBN 978-0-9570698-0-0.  The second has a date of 2016.  (ISBN below, in Susan's note.)  An address, with photos:  http://www.beadandlacecreations.co.uk/   Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center  In a message dated 10/20/2017 9:37:48 PM Eastern Standard Time, hottl...@neo.rr.com writes: To Jeriâs question, the book is Rosaline Perle 2 by Judith Cordell, ISBN 978-0-9570698-1-7.  Susan Hottle USA   - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] Rosaline perle
Susan A rolled bundle also plays an important part in Withof, and many pieces start with a bundle that defines a central vein in a leaf. And Cantu (called punto Venezia in Italian) uses a variation on the bundle to move threads around internally as the lace proceeds. Both Duchesse and Honiton use a rolled bundle to move threads from the bottom of one leaf to the top of the next. They don't exactly start with a bundle but use it frequently. Here are some links to photos of Honiton, Duchesse and Withof which contain the rolled bundle. http://lynxlace.com/images/lace597bv.JPG http://lynxlace.com/images/lace169leaf.JPG http://lynxlace.com/images-h-det-diag/lace726edgroll.JPG In this one the magenta lines point to the rolled bundle. https://www.pinterest.com/lynxlacelady/cantu-punto-venezia/ In terms of why a lace starts with a bundle -- in Withof I think it is mostly an aesthetic thing. The sculptured effect is part of the design definition. In Honiton and Duchesse the purpose is to move threads to where they are needed, without the necessity of cutting threads off and starting again with new. This gives a better stability. But the sculptural effect is also used aesthetically. In Canto-punto-Venezia it also functions to move threads to where they are needed without cutting off frequently.

[lace] Rosaline perle
Hello All! Ithaca Lace Day (Columbus Day weekend) was fabulous as usual! IOLI Finger Lakes Guild is a great host & the class lineup was superb. I was in Carolyn Wetzel’s Frisado class & my finished project is posted to Arachne Flickr. On Friday, before the event, I visited the Mann library at Cornell University with my roommate & we had a blast in the stacks. It was like an all-you-can-read buffet of lace books & I am smitten by their book on Rosaline! I did some speed reading & made a few copies then purchased a book from Holly at ILD. Now that I’m home, I would like to have a better understanding of why a lacemaker would start out with a rolled clump of threads! And is this the only lace that starts with a bundle? I vaguely remember a thread bundle in Rosa Libre but I think that was for moving the threads from one section to another. Will an expert share some background info on this very lovely lace? I would like to give it a try. Many thanks.
