OIDFA

First session of the

Bulgarian Needlelace Improvisation course

Bistra Pisancheva, Instructor

Bulgaria

I used Olympus Crochet Coton No. 40

Colors 541 - yellow

254 - green

132 - rose and

126 - pink

 Plus: Olympus Tatting lace yarn (thin) T503 pink

Second session - wow!

An inspiration.   A gallery of Bulgarian creative lace.

 Learned a couple new ways to start.

Once the video is available I'll go thru it slower and figure out the 'round' flower shape.   Plus, creating shapes / oak leaves.   Blue fiber is Olympus Crochet Cotton No. 40, 383.  Also, Olympus Tatting lace yarn (Medium), T207.   

Nice that the videos are available.  

 Pieces back from the last congress in Bulgaria.  OIDFA National Stand: USA "My Lace Connections - Around the World" art project / display.  Stunning displays from participating countries -- wanna peek:

 Creating the knotted lace basic techniques is important.   Once confident, can improvise.

I was on the waiting list for The Discovery of Needlelace in Alencon, instructor Charlene Poret, France.  Those sessions will be in September and October (via zoom)
