Thanks Lorelei
That really is beautiful - I hope someone does make it up and post a
picture on the Arachne photo album for us all to see...
(I suspect my honiton technique isn't quite up to it, and won't have
time to improve them until I retire so unfortunately it probably won't
be me)
Best wishes for the New Year to all

I have posted a bobbin lace collar pattern of my own design, for free, on my
website.

It is a part lace design and can be worked using Honiton or Duchesse
technique. I would say it requires intermediate level skills in either of
those styles. There is no instruction along with it, so you have to be able
to figure out how to work it on your own. It is a sort of macro scale and
would probably best be worked in DMC Retors 30 or 50, or equivalents. Some
parts of the design could be abstracted and used as largish brooch designs or
appliqués.
I drew the design over 20 years ago, but never got around to working a sample.
My eyesight is deteriorating and sewings are becoming difficult to see. So I
think it unlikely I will ever work the design myself.
If you decide to work it or any part of it, please send me a picture!
Happy New Year
