Hi Lyn and fellow Arachnids,
There are some children's booklets about. The Lace Guild (England) has a
couple including a Christmas set of relatively easy patterns. Then there is
Gillian Dye's 'An A B C of Lace Patterns (Elvington Press, IBSN 0 9522709 1
9) as well as Christine Springett's books which have some fun patterns in
(hairband, small gathered flowers etc. and another with Christmas bits).
Also, I have found that children's colouring books have fairly simple
drawings which can be easily translated into tape lace. Hope that helps. We
want to encourage the youngsters.
Happy lace making,
Joepie, East Sussex, UK

spare pairs of bobbins, and she merrily went along crossing and twisting.
I can see this getting a bit more involved. I can teach the beginning
stuff,
and I have a fish keychain fob that I saw being made at Kantcentrum by the
kids class there, AND I have pictures from Brioude, France, showing the
children’s efforts, making a village out of tape lace houses with
some simple fillings.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, and if so, how did you solve it.
After the bandage, what do you do? I have Christine Springett’s
book
on
snakes on my shopping list, And I have the 2 German books on Easter eggs.
