This book is aimed at the competent bobbin-lace maker. Honiton lace is, in the view of many, the finest of the bobbin-lace types, and this book consists principally of a collection of 30 challenging, original lace projects. The lace was designed by Barry Biggins and worked by a number of lacemakers to demonstrate the variety to be achieved in the interpretation of patterns. Technical notes are also included.
Total newcomers to lacemaking—or those who simply haven’t made Honiton lace—will find this the perfect introduction to this intricate art. Equipment, preparation, and all the stitches are covered in detail, followed by five patterns designed to teach all the methods used in flat Honiton lace: a basic flower, handkerchief corner motif, flower spray, “trillium” motif and bell flower spray. Plus, there are mounting techniques and information on designing for Honiton lace.
A book for bobbin-lace makers who have already mastered basic, flat Honiton lace. This book continues to the next stage, demonstrating many of the more advanced raised techniques, by means of six designs with detailed working instructions and diagrams. Six patterns designed by the author, or adapted from traditional sources, accompanied by very full and detailed working instructions, and supported by diagrams. The photographs of each of the finished pieces are magnified to show as much detail as possible. Each pattern is followed by a discussion of the working methods used, and of the ways these can be adapted and applied in other circumstances.
