I think my favourite piece of lace is my Plastron - Mixed lace - bobbin lace on the outside and needlelace in the centre. It is shown on my community webshots page labelled, I think, Triennial 2000. It won First prize!!
I took the design from a photo of an antique piece featured in Catherine Barley's book on Needlelace. I took a bit of "Poet's Licence" with it, and put some Lester roses instead of the ferny bits. I got it into my head that they looked like hands, - and I did not need a pair of hands clutching my ample bosom!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once that thought had entered my head I was stuck with it, so changed them to large bobbin lace Lester Roses, to compliment the lovely Needlelace rose in the centre!!!
