Are there amongst you a person I would call perhaps an "academic artist?" or
indeed anyone crazy enough to want to give it a go!

 

I am trying to work out a sort of dictionary for describing the various
decorations found on Honiton bobbins.

 

I have been trying to use heraldic terms, for example, to describe the
various sorts of lines the decorators used,  It sort of works, but seems a
bit high powered for what I am after.

 

But let me give you an example:

The decorators love "bricks", but they have at least 7 types of
(bricklaying!!! )Brick designs.

 

I would like to be able to say that a bobbin has a . say:  The top of the
shaft has an "Open brick" design or perhaps "wide brick". whatever for the 7
types.

 

Other than bricks there are 9 design groups. Triangle, hearts, diamonds,
lines,

Foliage and flowers, living creatures, human artifacts, ships humans and
others.  Some are easy to name.

 

Of course I can send any "crazy" individual who volunteers all the designs.

 

OK, I am not holding my breath!  Finger are crossed

 

Not sure if I should end by saying

 

Your friend(!)

 

Brian
