Better yet, get the artist to make a painting of you at your pillow, all

Has anyone tried this type of lace. I'm thinking of doing some for a

ground after you make the motifs, thus joining them together. It seems to me

That poem was wonderful and enjoyed reading it. Clay is right, you need to

Noelene,

In my collection of lacemaker paintings is one painting of only hands.
This painting by Lynn Hughes struck me as absolutely beautiful.
It's on http://lace.lacefairy.com/LaceArt/LaceArtwork/ALBUM.HTM

...The sooner you can get comfortable with the diagrams, the sooner the
whole world of bobbin lace opens to you. Then you will graduate to the
patterns with nothing but a pricking and there will be nothing to stop you!

for lace. I find the colours are confusing - this is because I haven't
