Beautiful gown Robyn. Hopefully, one day you can let us see a pic of that
gold lace. It looks so lovely on your gown.
At the last Ren fair I went to, there was an awesome bobbin lace dem. On a
table was a giant cookie pillow. On each of the 4 sides, were 4 of the court
"princesses" in their gowns learning to bobbin lace. They all worked on the
same pattern, and their instructor revolved around the table and the pillow
to encourage and teach. It was a lovely sight to see the 4 beautiful young
ladies in their gowns, heads bent over their work. They all looked so
relaxed and unruffled. It was truely a picture from the past.
It was a whole different feel to see a lace demo where the lacers face each
other in a circle rather than spread out along a table all facing the same
direction as we do at our Guild demos.
What I'm up to? DH is going away for a fishing week-end with his Dad, so
beginning tonight I have the whole week-end to myself! I'm going to be
working on the Brugge Bloemwork mat that I want to enter in the State Fair.
I'm finishing the first of 3 scrolls which leaves 2 scrolls and the braid
and pico background and it will be done!!!
When that's finished I'll be working on a Princess Lace mat, also for the
State Fair.
