I first saw Bobbin lace being worked in 1976 at a Heritage Fair and thought "some day I want to learn that". Then some 12-14 yrs. later I heard about 'gold and silver wire lace' and since I was using gold and silver wire in my jewelry career I thought 'I can do that too' but realized I needed to learn in fiber first. First from books and then I found Lacemakers of Puget Sound. I have made some wire lace but really became hooked with the process.
So while I found 'lace' myself, I come from a family of women who were sewers, knitters, and needle workers. I have always done things with my hands. I even did a weekend class at Blacksmithing. Really fun too! Lorri --Synchronicity abounds on Arachne! I was just to ask if most have come into bobbin lace (or other forms) via lineage, or self-initiation, and then Alice posted this: "new lace student is very enthusiastic. Her grandmother made lace and she's excited about learning how to do it." - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
