So, I demonstrated at a local crafts bazaar, and it was highly successful, in
my opinion. I have a little half sheet that I hand out giving the urlâs of
IOLI, and more local lace groups and two major suppliers. I handed those only
to those who really expressed and interest, and I handed out about 20, which I
think was great. I didnât have a try me pillow, as I was the only one
there, but the niece of a friend came by, and wanted to do it, so I put up 2
spare pairs of bobbins, and she merrily went along crossing and twisting. I
can see this getting a bit more involved. I can teach the beginning stuff,
and I have a fish keychain fob that I saw being made at Kantcentrum by the
kids class there, AND I have pictures from Brioude, France, showing the
childrenâs efforts, making a village out of tape lace houses with some
simple fillings.
Problem is, I am not creative in that way. I canât design visual
things. Like lace. The child involved is about 10. Are there books out
there for children her age? Or are there books out there with patterns in
them that have appealed to other children her age that you folks know? It is
possible, of course, that she will be satisfied with making Torchon edgings,
of increasing difficulty, but I am not hopeful. It is also possible that she
will be able to design her own lace, but I have no great hopes of that either.
But she seems relatively proficient, even with a first lesson, and, more
importantly, enthusiastic.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, and if so, how did you solve it.
After the bandage, what do you do? I have Christine Springettâs book on
snakes on my shopping list, And I have the 2 German books on Easter eggs.
