Lately, the thought of learning bobbin lace techniques has been surfacing. Not sure I'll actually be able to follow through on those thoughts. They probably have occurred since I missed out on a bobbin lace workshop held in March that conflicted with a beadweaving class I was scheduled to give (secretly wishing that no students would sign up !). Anyway, here is a little treat for the eyes from a talented Etsian: Pure Harebell Bobbin Lace Necklace from FiredragonLace.

there's awonderful text on needlework techniques which includes a chapter devoted to bobbin laces of various kinds. First published in 1750 then republished by Dover, it remains a fantastic source and resource for all kinds of threaded handwork. It's called "Encyclopedia of Needl;ework" by Theresa de Dilmont. I believe the Gutenburg project may have pages of it online - perhaps even the whole book. I would warn you, it's very thick!
