My Lace Making.
My Lace Making.
2nd attempt at lace. 24 bobbins, 2 colours, 2 different thicknesses of thread.

| From Le Pompe, 1558, plate 16 a. | Lace pattern as it was from the book which I enlarged and elongated, then used as my pricking (the pattern for the lace fully prepared with holes ready pricked). |
 |
 |
| Colour coded to show where my plats will go. | Finished lace before ironing to shape it. finished 21 May 2008, 7 days from beginning to end. Scale is 7cm base to tip and 2.5cm wide. |
This is the 3rd attempt at this particular design. The first I used thread
too thick for the the size of the pattern. 2nd the pattern was too
small for me to see what I was doing. 3rd, approximately 8 cm wide, works
for me.
Take 3 on this lace was begun 15 May 2008. I am managing to get 1 ponit
done a day. There is on average 4-5 hours per point. I imagine this
will become less as I become more proficient at the art. Time down to 1-2
hours per point at the end, depending on distractions.
Technically this is a better
piece of lace than my first because I am keeping all my groupings of bobbins,
4 bobbins to a stand, together. In my first lace they went all over the place at the beginning.
This lace will be a set of cuffs for a Venetian gown.
