Gros point de Venise Class

 Not much
accomplished during today's needle lace zoom!!   
I started the sampler (photo on right of finished piece)
and will complete it in four sessions.  Next session will be the next three rectangles. (filling)

I am using Lizbeth, Size 20, Col. 601 for the outline --
 DMC 80, Col. 5200 for the filling(s).

Gros Point de Venise Class 2025.  
Pattern + Instructions:  Loretta Holzberger

Sessions thru Virtual Education,
The Lace Museum.

 I really should have used a different color paper/card stock for the pattern!!!    Challenge to use white fiber on white pattern.



 Preparing for bobbin lace Rose for Kalofer session on Thursday.   Prep for needlelace and bobbin lace is time consuming.  Stay tuned.   The bobbin lace flowers/rose are part of a community lace project for the 2025   OIDFA Congress in Kalofer and Karlovo, Bulgaria.  Also, https://lacechallenge.internationalorganizationoflace.org/lace-challenge/lace-challenge-11 Lace Challenge #11 for I.O.L.I.  
I am grateful to Joan Brash for her pattern and sessions thru the Lace Museum.  I'd like to finish the sunflower this summer, too.

Needle Lace Sunflower

I've picked up this project a few times.
Have made some practice pieces.
Started out with size 20 fibers 
& really didn't care for the outcome.

Picked out some size 40 fibers and
giving it another go.

 Practice pieces.

 Started with the sunflower center. 

So not perfect; however, I like the way it spirals.   
Lizbeth size 40 - Col. 697.

Now on to the petals.

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).

Summertime Sunflowers

EDITED

This was a zoom class
thru the Lace Museum, which I set aside,
and kind of forgot about - -


This teneriffe pattern / Kit uses beads and fibers.

 Do you see the beads?




In addition to the Teneriffe Sunflower,
I've started a Needle Lace Sunflower, too
thru the Lace Museum ... next zoom session/video on Tuesday.

Sunflowers are a GREAT theme
for the summer sessions via the Lace Museum virtual education.  I have a few patterns and kits ...

This was the first sunflower, of the summer, that I've completed:
 Class instruction and pattern by Kelli Slack.  Link:  Sunflowers at the Twisted Picot.   

I have a few sunflowers to create -- I have a Spangles kit, called "Sunflowers" - beaded lace bobbin.   
(photo from their web site Spangles)

Karen Smock has a class coming up, 
Sunflower on a small Grapevine wreath.  Earlier this year she had a lovely earring/necklace set, Zwirnknopf Sunflower Buttons - which I will enjoy making.   

Also, I came accross the Endruck's Happy Sunflowers, LINK HERE.   (tatting)    Should be fun.

I'm looking forward to see the new class offerings 
for Winter : )

Tatted Sunflower


Pattern:   Sunflower ~ A Sunflower made in Shuttle Tatting ~
Kelli Slack ~ Kelli Slack Designs ~ www.kellislackdesigns.com c. 2022

This is an adaptation of the Sunflower Pattern.
Wednesday's zoom class/session via The Lace Museum Virtual Education,
was taught by Kelli Slack,  information here.  During our class, I didn't create the
full pattern - did enough to learn the elements.   

It begins with a coil chain center [which I could use more practice] and individual flower petals.   The pattern could be used with beads, different colors, different petal lengths, different center sizes, etc.   Such a creative pattern and enjoyable zoom session.

The pattern is available from A Twisted Picot, by kit 
or by pattern.   

My adaptation was made with Lizbeth, size 20, colors 692 + 613.
