I have. On the flicker site, under "Branwyn ni Druaidh", is a unicorn I did. It's a period piece, from the book "SIngulier et nouveaux pourtraicts" first published in 1587. It's supposed to be an edging, but I did it as a stand alone piece. I learned a lot on that lace -- such as the more detail, the finer the thread has to be. (So it lost a lot of detail work on the small archs because I used 35/2 linen thread, when it needed 90/2.)
The book is in the digital archives at Arizona . edu. I would suggest anybody who doesn't know about this resource to check into it. It's a wonderful resource for a LOT of the older books and magazine articles, not just for lace making, but also for weaving! http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html Bronwen On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 8:18 AM, Susan Reishus <[email protected]>wrote: > Just lovely!
