FW: [lace] Thistle bookmark
I would be interested in seeing the thistle bookmark made up in white or colours. It may even convert me to bobbinlace. --- Rochelle Sutherland Lachlan (7yrs), Duncan (6yrs) and Iain (5yrs) www.houseofhadrian.com.au == Hi Rochelle, Do I detect a certain affinity for things Scottish in your house? ;) I am fascinated by Sherry's objective to make it in color. I have a Beds Piece in colors and it was colored according to the part, red poppies, golden barley, green stems, yellow sunflowers. Beds is not given to be made in color, but when I got the spirit of it, I was hooked. The principal difficulty, ahem! Challenge, is to find ways to change colors. I just checked and my picture of it is still on the Arachne webshots. http://community.webshots.com/photo/314148412/1325990697048870129OFRfli I have Jean Leader's patterns also, but I haven't made any of them yet. Life is short and art is long. Sherry, maybe we could jointly give it try and have a partner to confer with? I am very fond of the subtly variegated threads available and I have quite a few of them. Don't you think a thistle would look more realistic with hints of pink and light and darker purples? And then there is the foliage. Thistles come in a lot of different colors, but I suppose that the collection of patterns represents the symbols of the constituent parts of Great Britain and the Scottish thistle has a definite set of colors. The flower is definitely purple but I am not sure about the foliage. Some other types of thistles are pink, and there is even a bright yellow one. Maybe a fantasy thistle in turquoise and purple?

Re: [lace] Thistle bookmark
I have now seen 3 different Thistle Bookmarks in color: Patricia Dowden's with very clear and warm colors, one at IOLI Convention in Harrisburg done in pastels, and the one I made in brighter colors. Unfortunately, I left it in a library book (I think) I've not seen it since. At I hope it's being appreciated!

It is a very neat design and I love the changing colors. May I ask how you did the barley leaves as I thought that in Beds the side leaves were worked by pairs that go into and out of the center stalk? Did you have to keep removing a color worker or did you carry it along some how? On the large flower, did the worker threads go into the center as on my computer it appears to be all green in the center?

Re: FW: [lace] Thistle bookmark
There are many species of thistles in the northern hemisphere. Some have deep green, some yellowish-green, some gray-green, and some bright green. There's one species found in southern California (I think it's actually a foreign invader, but it's frequently found where cattle have disturbed the environment) that has large, rich green leaves with white lines criss-crossing them.
