Spangled Lace for a Coif

I just finished a length of silk bobbin lace with metallic spangles/oes/paillettes, which I intend to apply to a coif. The pattern is a simple one from the 16th century pattern book, Nuw Modelbuch.

Taking a Break

I got a little frustrated with stocking lace, not able to find the exact threads that I wanted.

So, I took a little break to teach myself the technique used to add spangles and beads to the bobbin lace.  I ended up putting it on a little bag as a favor for my husband. The embroidery is one I did in an Asissi class at Gulf wars in 2003.
