Sorry, but my jewelry books are packed. One comes to mind that was exceptional, but I cannot even remember the title, and I think it is OOP, but was from Germany? No help, I know. Find a motif you like, or draw one, and make it into something. Don't forget wire, and look at beading stores/magazines and fashion magazines (or the 'net).
As far as fashion design, I am familiar as that is my education and I have done it for almost 50 years. There are major department stores whose buyers will take private collections, and things like the shopping channels. Then you need to be ready with volume. I digress, even though initially it was about weaving and lace made from scratch for garments. In one's life, one does many things to benefit all, and at times oneself, and it always changes in various ways. Ultimately, lace will live on as it has, as people can find thread, make bobbins, and draw designs if they have to. It is just nice to have supplies available and for others to be able to make a living, also. Making fine thread of high quality though, I am not up for. LOL I am dropping out of the subject, since I have already written lengthy messages. :) Best, Susan Reishus - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
