I turn my own bobbins and make my own glass beads too. The latest pics of
my current Bucks Point piece on my blog contains all my own bobbins and
around half the spangles are made from my handmade beads. I took an
updated pic yesterday, and will upload it in a few minutes.

Laura, I had a look at the photo on your blog:

Goodness - how very pretty! And how very clever and enterprising; you
must have worked very hard to produce all those bobbins.
But what really intrigues me is that starry cover cloth. For myself, I
can only work with a very plain and neutral cloth as I find anything
else confuses me. However, I believe some people use a patterned cloth
- maybe gingham? - as a means to working their lace. Do you find that
the pattern helps you, or does it just stimulate rather than distract
you? I'm willing to try anything that would help me make better lace.
Best wishes from Linda Walton,
