...Lola gets :) She ages gracefully, too! I haven't dyed this colorway for a very long time, and when I looked at the original recipe I decided it could be improved. I'm pleased with the results!
My plan is to dye several batches of sizes 10 and 20 only for a week or so to balance the stock in my
Etsy shop. Don't worry, all the sizes that I have been doing will be included in future batches, For now I'm doing some catch up work.

After several learning experiments I finally finished a bobbin lace project that I'm pleased with! The pattern is the Naely pendant from page 23 in the book, Bijoux En Dentelle by Colette Varet. I added my own touch to the center with wire and a faceted bezel link.
The cord used is 1 mm thick waxed cotton. To me it appears to be about the same thickness as Lizbeth size 3. The waxing gives a nice stiffness, so maybe pulling some hand dyed through a block of beeswax might be something worth trying.

I saw this beautiful new color on Instagram and love it too, I think is is smart to make some of your variegated colors that don't include green, because when tatting I don't always want green on the shuttle that is making the petals.
ReplyDeleteLove the pendent and bobbin lace thread I bet it is better for some jewelry making too! Have a great day from Carollyn!

ReplyDeleteAwesome pendant!!! :)
Beatiful colourway.
ReplyDeleteLoveky pendant, I love the colour.
Love the thread. Striking new pendant.
ReplyDeleteLove your bobbin lace pendant. I'm interested to see bobbin lace in a thicker thread. A friend of mine is learning bobbin lace, using very fine thread. We were discussing a few days ago whether bobbin lace necessarily requires fine thread. Clearly not!
ReplyDeleteLove the bobbin lace pendent and the updated colorway!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pendant & colourway !!!
