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.
Genevieve loves to travel Europe and sample all of the latest in court fashions. She is accomplished in embroidery, lacemaking, and cooking fine dishes. Researching and writing about the arts and sciences is also one of her pursuits.
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.
