The fewer the bobbins, the few the pins set up the less intimadating it looks. There are things that can be laced up with minimal about of bobbins. Example would be snakes, or some simple Christmas ornaments like stars. This also makes me think of Tamara Duval's two pair evention books. Making flowers can be done too that don't look complicating or simple butterflies. Something simple looking to do is key I think. >>
I also think that working something that allows you to move the bobbins very fast is a good idea. I worked a gold thread, all linen stitch modern ornament resulting in the bobbins moving very fast and the entire ornament finished within a 3 hour period. The fast movement of the bobbins seemed to attract people, also the prospect of seeing visible progress. Perhaps this is a form of deception....
