A few years ago I was thinking of making a Honiton fan (I am Still thinking about it!!), and the Honiton "specialist" here in Melbourne suggested I draw up a "master plan", and then draw up each motif/spray separately. Work them separately, and then place them on the Master Plan to work the background/bars to hold them altogether.
If you are going to make NL bars, as Peter is thinking about, I would put the master plan on the fabric NL pad Before I mounted any motifs on it. They can then be tacked right through the pad, and be firm to work the bars. I would work a collar in the same manner. Working the motifs separately is the way to go, I think. But if you plan to work the ground in BL - then you will need to have the master plan on a pillow. A cookie pillow should be fine. As the ground is worked in sections, usually, I think, with Honiton, it should be reasonable easy to move the whole thing to the next section, as you run out of pillow. Good luck with it, Peter, and let us know how you are going with it. from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
