Re: [lace] hand made paper bobbins

Wow!  I might play over my Easter holiday if my brother's still got his 
technic lego around :oD  I tried looking at the Lace Fairy page about using 
some sort of pulley system with a bit of string and I couldn't get my head 
around it at all - it didn't help that if I followed a link to the 
pictorial description, it appeared to be describing a different 
method.  Unless I was extremely deluded, which is entirely possible.

Randomly, I've just looked at the Lego homepage - for me in the UK, it's 
cheaper to buy a real winder but I would imagine that it's easier to find a 
Lego supplier that will deliver to the wilds of Australia or a local 
toyshop that will order stuff in than it is to order lace bits and bobs.

[lace] hand made paper bobbins

[Jenny Brandis]

Hi
For those of you who have been following the saga of the Kununurra Kid 
trying to get her kit together you will be pleased to know that I have 
found a way around the bobbin issue 
http://www.brandis.com.au/craft/bobbin.html - if the town has enough gift 
wrapping paper that isg. Still no reply from the Aussie supplier I faxed 
asking for a quote.

I have made my own pillow http://www.brandis.com.au/craft/block.html and 
until I see how good I go at the actual bobbin lace making I will stick 
with it. Not so keen on making the 36+ bobbins though so can you suggest a 
supplier of beginner bobbins in Australia?

Well off to roll some more.
