Gentle Spiders, Some friends of mine returned from vacation and brought me a couple of small lace goodies they bought at Hampton Court Palace. The sticker on one states: Nottingham lace bookmark by Wetherall Lace, Nottingham". Looking at the lace, I'm guessing machine made bobbin, but please tell me it was made in Nottingham and not off-shore. I'm just tickled that someone sent me a present!!
My current bit of insanity is to try to recreate a piece of 17th century (or maybe 16th) lace that's in the Victorian and Albert museum. I have a high resolution image from the museum's collection on line service. First attempt at drawing it out was a bust, so am starting over. The photo shows a bit of texture and I keep wanting to take my finger and push it down.
