Hi all.
I am writing an article on the fleet of bobbin ships I have on Honiton bobbins. IF you have one that you have not sent to me and are happy for me to use the picture/s I would be glad to have it in my database. Did you know that David Springett made at least one Honiton ship reproduction? Great piece of work. I have 22 ships so far but I know of at least 10 more that are out there in someone's collection, somewhere! Sometimes owners have not recognized they have a ship. Look for "sails" they mostly give the ship away. Oh, here is another clue, one decorator carves what I call "hairy Hearts", often with two eyes and a nose in them making them look like faces, He is a prolific ship carver on bobbins! In addition to the 22 bobbin ships, I have a collection of drawn ( illustrated)ships that are on Honiton bobbins. Maybe you have a drawn Honiton ship somewhere? That will be interesting (I do have the Bellerby drawn collection, Thanks to The Lace Guild.) I know of one set on a west country postcard, probably bought at one of the Devon local museums. Thanks, I am forever in Arachne members debt. Brian (the one-eyed monster who is currently suffering from Double vision when he uses two eyes!
