Hi All,
Not that I have any particular reason for writing this note to you, but I just thought that you should know that though I am very fond of antique bobbins, I am not totally one eyed about them. Our modern bobbin makers are innovative and skilled turners and frankly (with some exceptions) produce better bobbins that the antique makers. I could be nasty and say -I should think so too- considering the modern lathes and tools they have!.... but they show great turning skills. [much better than mine!!!] I have seen some really amazing modern bobbins, and in say, 50 years' time, there will be someone like me writing a monograph about their achievements. I also need to mention particularly those artists who paint the bobbins. They are exquisite. Here is to your beautiful pillows -----smiles Brian - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected].
