Hi All,
I think its confession time.
I have been so slack with research and writing during Covid even though
(comparably Australia has done well). The truth of the matter is that i
pretty well have a Collectors Guide to "Honiton" bobbins ready. Covid
has really held up the Downton Guide, but a fare amount of work has been
done on that too.
The trouble is that after those two projects are on the net the majority
of topics on bobbins we have covered. A few more articles will come
out from time to time I am sure as it is a topic that really has "No end"?
Meantime i am making and flying RC model gliders (Slopesoarers)
What is of importance is that IOLI has accepted the Lace Biography of
Marian Powys I wrote and part one "could" be out in the next issue.
Then part two an issue in the future.
She was English, a brother to the literary Powys brothers, went to
America and became a world expert on lace.( Particularly Devon lace)
An amazing lady whose individual abilities and success was overshadowed
by her brothers achievements. Hers are just as good and she was as
successful as they were.
Please look after yourselves, you have been good friends of mine for
many years, Your help, support and generosity in donating me images has
made my contribution possible.
Re articles. I/we (she who remains in the background of all my work!!!!)
have no objection to articles published on the Arizona site being used
as long as you attribute it and do not make any changes to them. You
must be warned that those articles reflect my journey of learning about
bobbins and my early writing was based on quite sparse knowledge and
research. We hope we are getting better.
