Hello All! Thank you Cindy for the additional info. I've uploaded two photos to Arachne/Flickr so you & Sue can see the pattern. Le Pompe is so Elizabethan that I think some SCA friends should be clamoring for a class with Kim! We discussed compressing the wire lace in class but didn't do so in order to preserve the "as made" texture. However, for an item that would be worn or otherwise handled frequently, I can see why strengthening the lace is desirable. All those unused glass Christmas ornaments that I have stored might need to be remodeled with bands of wire lace! Mmmm, mmmm, good. There's a lot more to know, but as you can see, I'm still agog from two days of intense class work. I probably should have made an extra repeat for my bracelet. My DH tied it on my wrist with Frosty Rays, a needlepoint thread, because my magnetic findings are MIA (missing in action). It fits, but just barely. It could be mounted on a cuff foundation of some sort, so I'll look into ! that later. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA
