Bobbin Lace: Bauble

 This is a class piece via The Lace Museum thru Zoom.     This is one of the Skill Building Workshops for Bobbin Lace.

Pattern is Magic Thread Bauble 2.3    

cKaren H Thompson. 

For this class piece, I used DMC Perle Coton #5 colors 815, 3688, 818, 733, 611, & 746.   Nice to learn using magic thread technique in place of knots for finishing.

These are two that I finished.   One on right has beads added.  One on left ends with small tassel (which may need some more fibers).   PC #5 colors DMC Blanc and DMC 210.

I started this one with PC #8 colors DMC 340 and Anchor 926.

The pattern can be made up as earrings, pendant, or hanging ornament.   

Beads or no beads.  Tassel or no tassel.   

Aside from the bobbin lace, there are other virtual education classes offered.   Needlelace, Dorset Buttons, Pattern Designing, etc.  

 

Bobbins ....

Of course, have loads of laundry and my clothes dryer needs to be serviced.  

On Tuesday, arranged to use our son's laundry machines -- and his handsome kitty, Apollo, was my supervisor.    

I brought some fiber and bobbins - Initially, he was bored and just wanted to keep me company.    

Then, he wanted to play!   He had his eyes on the wound bobbins.   Yes, knew that wouldn't work out with him around!
