Hello David
You should get the bobbin inscribed with YOUR name, and perhaps the
date the teeth were extracted.
Hope your mouth is feeling better now

Fortunately my Dentist hails from the UK and knows about Lace bobbins
etc. He had no qualms at all about drilling a hole through each
David, what a brilliant idea!
Wish I'd thought of this when I had my teeth pulled in January. I am
sure my dentist, a jolly woman whom I have had the unfortunate pleasure
of knowing for many years, would have had a good old belly-laugh about
it, and then drilled me some holes.

Hi all,

Hello to One and All!
I've used the plastic bobbins on a regular basis. I currently have 50 each
of the black and brown. I had 100 of the white ones that I tea stained to
look more like ivory and they were all spangled the same. (I gave these as
a gift to a student.) My black ones I spangled
Hi all,
With reference to the Spanish doll on ebay, I want to add something. The
doll is dressed up in the Catalan regional dress (from Catalonia). The shoes
are typical, and also the net that covers her hair... everything in the
dress is characteristic. At the same time, lace is made and has been

Hello one and all.
I would like to add my comments to the plastic bobbins
thread.
I totally agree with Jean in saying there is nothing wrong with plastic
bobbins. The lace does`nt know wether its made by plastic or bone. It is a
little snobbery with some lacemakers [we have

This topic came from lace chat where the discussion is to do with original
artworks (e.g. a painting).
However, on the topic of 'copying' lace patterns, I shall add some random

Before I made lace with it, I'd want to know if this silk dissolved , as

BTW - I forgot to tell you that I came from humble beginnings in 1986. My
first pillow was made from a coffee can wrapped with wool and covered with
muslin. My bobbins - they were the old fashioned clothes pins. :-) When
there's a will, there's a way. LOL!
