I must have missed the details of Nelleke Glansdorp's lace for a
historical costume - can someone enlighten me on what that type of lace
is called?
Sally, your bobbin case looks quite interesting and I am looking forward
to seeing a photo (or 2) once you get your camera. Have you seen the one
that I designed? You can see a photo of it on my website at
http://www.brandis.com.au/craft/Lace/200504.html and there is also a PDF
of instructions. The next time I make some I think I will use netting
for the holding layer so that I can see if there is thread on the bobbins.
There is a lady in Western Australia who makes a wonderful zipped case
that holds about 35 pairs - they cost about $35AUD each last time I
enquired but the lacemakers who have them would not give them up. I
could try to find out the designers contact details if you are interested.
I have seen another bobbin holder that holds 70 pairs - should do a
diagram of as it is hard to describe. Don't know who designed it though.
I have just uploaded on our webshot a rough sketch of the 4 types of
bobbin holders I have seen - what other ones are there being used? One
lady in Darwin uses decorated terracota pots with the spangled bobbins
looking like exotic flowers!
