Devon, may I refer you to the Spring 2011 issue of Surface Design? It was
serendipitous that I was cleaning my studio over the weekend & found my copy.
There are a number of examples that might be right up your alley. Artists
include: Iveta Mihalikova, Silvia Federova, Lauran Sundin, Lenka
Thank you so much for expressing why I have not been interested in this
discussion!

I too, along with other lacemakers, have been rather too busy to join this
somewhat ridiculous discussion. Invited to the IOLI Convention in
Indianapolis, I've been teaching some of the techniques that allow for
ideas to be expressed in bobbin lace in a painterly manner.
Is this Art? Dear me,
I would definitely include Agnes Herczeg of Hungary in a show like this. Â I
own one of her pieces, and it is beautiful!
Her pieces are a genius mix of needle lace and bobbin lace. Â Check out her
gallery.
Her site is www.agnesherczeg.com
Saving up to buy another piece.
Enjoy!

Devon,
that’s difficult to answer. What is it keeping our eyes and being overwhelm
from what we see? In my opinion it’s something perfectly personal.
Therefor I can’t say what I would advise to work. To make lace works
acceptable for public is to try again and again and to explain why you did
My views of what we must do to promote lace making are unique. At age 78,
I'm interested in propelling us forward into the future and have been
trying to donate my library to a museum research facility that will be more
accessible than my home in Maine. It is a difficult task and (for me)
All over the world.

Devon, are you asking about American artists or from all over the world?
In Holland I think of the members of Experikant and Ria de Ruiter, in the UK of
Denise Watts. In America I know about Alicia Jane Boswell, who maken beautifull
jewelry with bobbin lace.
Happy lacing
Gon Homburg,
That is a very difficult question to answer. A lot of that has to do
with the 'eye of the beholder'. There have been a lot of things called
'art' where I would go 'really?' It seems to me that often it is about
making a statement. Some things I really wonder why something is called
art, like
I guess I should be clearer about my motives for asking these questions. I
am trying to put together a proposal for an art show in an art museum that
will consist of pieces of contemporary fiber art made with bobbin lace and
needle lace technique. The idea is to present works that show the
I could not follow this file from the beginning on I am too busy at the moment.
The last mail Devon sent us says exactly what I wanted to remark. When is a
work an art work, who determine this? There is a saying in Germany "art comes
into being in ones head“. Buy we things because they are
Watched the video, it looks really simple once you manage to make the
tiny adapter. Saved it to my piniterest page for future reference.
Right now I'm working with only 6 pairs so by hand will suffice.
I wonder if those portable (sewing machine) bobbin winders would work
with the technique too.
I have just found this demonstration of winding bobbins on a sewing machine
on Pinterest - it is in spanish (I think) but is easily understood. I don't
know how to 'shrink' the url, so iwill give you the long one and hope that
somebody will 'shrink' it for me.
