In 1992, Jean Leader (Lace Guild website) wrote a booklet, called "Thistles, roses, daffodils and shamrocks. 4 Bookmarks using Bedfordshire lace techniques. The designs have that Art Nouveau-ish, sinuous look to them and the diagrams, for all they're in just black on white, are very clear and cover both general instructions and problems specific to each design. *Very, very* nice. The booklet looks to be self-published, which, presumably, means that it could still be available. Apologies if all of this has been mentioned before. For several weeks, I have not had the time to read arachne and am just trying to jump back in now. -- Tamara P Duvall http://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
