#WIPWednesday My #torchon #BobbinLace with beads is mostly done. It's a bracelet, and I need to figure out some kind of clasp to use. But I'm pleased with the way it came out.

Thrift store beads and eBay black silk thread for a nice wearable item.

In the #lace community, it's custom to wear something you have made. But almost all of my other lace is on #18thCenturyFashion, which is not right for regular events...

I picked up my bobbin lace again and Have finished one piece and started another. Trying out a rose ground in the new one. Love Torchon, so much store to learn. #BobbinLace #Torchon #FibreArts #LaceMaking

Found some of my old learning samples of Torchon bobbin lace bookmarks. Forgot how hard the pins are on the fingertips 😫 but the end result is worth it. The spiders in the purple one are a PITA but these came out ok #Torchon #BobbinLace #FibreArt #Handcrafts

I’m binge watching Great British Sewing Bee and Got my bobbin lace out to finish off a bookmark i had started. It’sa basic Torchon background using multi coloured crochet thread.

Before I started the new #knitting, I did finish this #BobbinLace piece. But it has to rest on the pillow a bit before you take it down.

It's my first piece attempted with beading. And you do have to learn some bead management. It does take a bit longer. And wow, is it heavy now! I'm used to my lace being like a feather--heh.

The next chapter in this book (Jan Tregidgo's "#Torchon #Lacemaking) is a bracelet, which is my real goal. Something I can wear.

I did bring my current #BobbinLace project though. It's the first time I've really used beads.

It's a lot of beads. But it's just a sample bookmark sized piece. I'm getting a feel for how to work with beads and how to select for size and placement. Note to self: fewer beads. Maybe smaller too. #torchon

Passage en gare, je tombe sur cette couverture. Fan inconditionnel du grand Éric (son vrai prénom), je prends peur (quoi, Le Point 😱). Mais bon, je m’approche. Déjà, pas le mot socialisme en couverture, ça interpelle. Je lis l’avant-propos : toujours pas. Je referme 🤮 #torchon

2/2 So this is my calash #BobbinLace progress. This is made with white linen, which is quite stiff. I think it will be a nice trim for my wool cape that I'm working on as well (as much as I love a calash, I'm not up for that--and I need a cape).

So the plan is to make a couple of yards of this. I don't even know how much I need because I didn't finish the cape yet. I'm using the Burnley and Trowbridge short cloak pattern.

1/2 Heading out later, but as the last wave of #HurricaneNicole remnants is still moving through, I'll show you the current #BobbinLace project before I leave.

My current piece is a replica lace. I copied the pattern from this #18thCentury #calash in the Historic New England collection.

I took a class in #torchon design recently, and this was one of my projects--how to diagram the pattern and represent it.
