I am getting together information for a short article on chip carving and
"scrimshaw" on lace bobbins.
I seem to remember that there was a place in France that used to (I believed
they have now stopped) highly carve their bobbins. They were sort of short
and fat? It was a "wood carving" sort of tourist place... I think towards
the Swiss border?????
Can anyone tell me
1. where it was,
2. Where I can find a pictures of one... or even buy one.
The other antique bobbins that almost come into this category are the
beautiful coloured (often) and carved antique Normandy bobbins. These are
of interest to me also.
Thanks a lot.
