Hi Clay and all Arachnids,
What superb work!!!!!! I went to the website straight after I read the email
and was totally 'blown away' by that piece. Well done Clay is way too tame
for this. 'Follow that' is more like it. You are an inspiration to all lace
makers.
Happy Lace making,
Joepie in extremely wet Sussex. (At least I don;t have to water the plants
;-) )

Greetings, gentle Lacemakers!
As some of you know, I have been working on a "magnum opus" since
October of last year. I have been working a piece in Flanders, designed
by Anne-Marie Verbeke-Billiet, and finished it last month. >>>>>
<<<<<<The piece
was made with Egyptian Cotton 70/2. It required 350 bobbins with 25+/-
additional bobbins for gimps. The gimp was reeled silk from Bart and
Francis, worked in multiples which varied according to the perspective
of object in the piece. The finished piece is 16" wide by 5 1/2 inches
high.
