Off the Loom ...


EDITED ... 2:32 p.m.
 

Teneriffe Lace Sunflower (kit) c.2020 Heirloom Arts
Kit and Instruction:  Joan Brash

Kit included EVERYTHNG. (Excellent) Instructions, Teneriffe Loom,
DMC Coton Perle 8, Col. 972, Lizbeth, Twirlz, Monarch, Czech beads,
Needles, Filament for beading.   Joan's kits are wonderful.  When I visit her site, I want to purchase all of them.


 pretty with the beads ...

There are so many lace sessions to choose from.
Check them out, here:   https://thelacemuseum.org/virtual-education/.

In response to question, I did hope to put
sunflowers into a shadow box.   They sell them at Michael's (perhaps other places).

I have sunflowers completed, I have partial sunflowers, and instructions/patterns to launch.   

I want to do the Endruck's sunflower - another link here, finish my beaded lace bobbin with sunflower pattern,  needle lace sunflower, zwirnknopf button set, small grapevine wreath, and (floral) buttons.

I also have some tatted stars and needle lace stars in the works. And a bobbin lace star (design by Karen Thampson) on Alex Stillwell's Wordpress Site.  

I don't know what other artists do with their lace - I usually give most away.   Recently, though, I have had a 'theme' of sunflowers in different patterns that I'd like to arrange (somehow).
