Hi everyone and Jenny: > I've just seen an easy way of decorating bobbins with postage stamps, I > suppose it's decoupage Definitely is, the art of cutting out and pasting on ;) Works well with paper napkins too, if you have a lightweight one with a pretty design, butterflies for instance - clip out and dab on to bare bobbin wood, allow to dry then apply varnish. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19319&item=8192139510&rd=1 > of course to work properly the body of the bobbin would have to be > straight. If your stamps aren't 'special' like the ones at the ebay link - they are the US lace stamps! - you can trim the stamp to fit, or paste away and forgive the overlap. I did a lot of the cub bobbins that SMP sells for travel bobbins, just using standard postage stamps soaked off my mail. -- bye for now chatty Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] decorating bobbins
...And there are so many pretty lace stamps from 'round the world.Once could 'build' nice set of bobbins.. I have a set of glass bobbins that have these stamps slipped inside the stem. Cannot remember where I got them..almost 20 years ago? Beggars Lace, I think. Of course I love them,even tho' I use only Continental bobbins. I might even try a set like those shown on ebay.What fun!
