Re: [lace] Honiton Motifs
I don't know how many pieces you have, or how large they are, but how about making a clock? You could use a motif at 12, 3, 6, and 9, or more if they are small enough. Clock workings are generally available at craft stores, and the lace could be mounted on fabric that is in turn mounted to acid-free fiberboard before being framed. I have a clock that has Brazilian embroidery at each hour that was done something like this.

Re: [lace] Honiton Motifs
Ann, why not put them in nicely order in a frame and hang on a wall? And still more into lockets as presents for really good friends. Or as bookmarks,or on an evening bag.

Re: [lace] Honiton Motifs
Hi Ann and other Arachnids, I would sort the motifs into groups which are loosely related; i.e. Flowers/plants/insects or watery things like fish/reeds/water related mammals or birds and make it into larger collage(s). I would then put them in similar frames (or even identical ones and group them for most effect. Happy lace making, Joepie. Over the years I have made quite a lot of Honiton lace motifs.

Re: [lace] Honiton Motifs
One of the few pieces of Honiton that I finished (my first piece actually, done at a workshop with Pat Read many years ago) is stitched to a t-shirt. Because it is stitched all the way around it is quite safe in the washing machine. I have done the same with 3 pieces of Milanese (first one done with Pat's help) and they are not put in the washing machine because the t-shirt was very, very, very , very expensive and it is the t-shirt that gets hand-washed and the lace only by default. Malvary in Ottawa, where it is supposed to be +4 today so perhaps I can get rid of more of the 2-4 thick layer of ice on my driveway. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Honiton Motifs
You can find picture frames which include a mount that has several cutouts of different shapes - hard to describe! So you could mount various spriggs in one frame. I found the one below on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIGHT-WOODEN-PICTURE-PHOTO-FRAME-IVORY-MULTI-MOUNT-/150750093461?pt=UK_Photo_Frames_Displayhash=item231967e095 Diana in Northants - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] Honiton Motifs
My suggestion Ann would be to decorate a waistcoat - I used small motifs of tatting that way very successfully on a crazy patchwork waistcoat. Perhaps with the delicacy of Honiton motifs, a crazy patchwork in different shades of just one colour. The tatting stood out well on a crazy patchwork of printed fabrics.
