[lace] Crystal Palace bobbins?

2010-12-09 Thread Clay Blackwell
I've just stumbled across a interesting item on eBay. It is for a pair of bobbins which have a label that says they are from a set of 144 made for the Crystal Palace Exhibition. Interestingly enough, I have one of those bobbins in my own (very, very small) collection of antique bobbins. So,

 I was curious as to what you like on your bobbins. Do you like plain different types of wood bobbins, or fancily turned bobbins, or do you like crystals in your bobbins, or spliced wood, glass, metal,bone or hand painted bobbins. If hand painted do you prefer holidays, floral, birds, animals

The post office is surpassing itself. I, in Oregon, received a lace card from Australia in four days! Marian sent a lovely tatted Christmas Tree with sequin ornaments on it. It's so dainty. I also received a beaded bobbin lace ornament from South Aftrica, from Dot. It has the design of a

There's not a single, simple answer to what kind of bobbins I like. I have a wide variety, and use and like all of them. I started with Midlands bobbins because that's what my teacher used. I enjoy looking at and using painted ones as well as just finely turned woods. One of my favorite

In response to Sherry's message about her bobbins, I'm writing to say that I bought two of them when she listed them recently, and they arrived quickly and were well-packed. I can attest to the fact that her bobbins show how much work has gone into them!! I'm very happy with the two I got,

You are indeed lucky, Alice!! I am eagerly waiting for a package posted to me from the UK sixteen days ago!! I'm suspecting that it may be log-jammed in customs. It is, however, larger than a flat packet, so that may be part of the problem. But every day, I'm just *sure* this is the day it

I am sure in my mind that their are both fashions and personal likes and dislikes. Actually I have written an essay (that is being vetted by a friend) about just this thing. Lace makers talk mostly about smoothness in handling their bobbins, they also have favourite makers, there is quite a

Hiya Clay,    Thank you so much for your compliments. They are so much appreciated. I am hoping though that all my bobbins sell. Having money to Christmas shop for my love ones will bring me great joy when they get their gifts and to have the feelings myself that I was able to sell my artwork

Being prompted by Clay, and procrastinating as usual, I went to E-bay and exercised the Buy it Now option and got Sherry's painted black bobbin with Hear the Peacefulness in gold with a matching spangle. I love her painted black bobbins. According to the description, this is the last of her

Hi Sherry, I believe that I have one of your Celtic bobbins. I have over 3,000 bobbins (I counted and photographed them a few years ago for insurance purposes, and there were 3,000 plus a couple of fragile antique bone bobbins. It would take some time to search to find it. What vendor could I
