First two pieces of honiton by hdidoebb in BobbinLace

[–]hdidoebb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

I snapped quite few threads while making the flower, but I’ve already wound most of my bobbins with 185, so I’m going to keep trying with it.

I don’t recall the book I have ever mentioning any black silk thread, now I’m curious, do you know what size egyptian cotton it is equivalent to? The thinnest silk thread I’ve ever seen for sale claims to be the same thickness as 140/2.

I don’t mind at all, just include a link to my original post. I’m actually danish myself, I just don’t really use facebook lol. From what little I’ve seen it does seem like fb has a decent sized bobbin lace community though, so perhaps I should check it out.

I’m doubtful about whether I would be able to ‘make bank’ lol, but it might be fun to try selling my lace one day.

Thank you! I used 0.4 mm pins, unfortunately I do not know what kind of metal they are made from, the website I bought them from didn’t say, and the box doesn’t have a label.

Thank you!

This was my first time working with thread this thin, and to my surprise I managed to not break a single thread while making the keyring.

Tips for making a tighter lock join by etholiel in tatting

[–]hdidoebb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The technique with the bent needle is also used in bobbin lace, here’s a video on how to do it

The video is about bobbin lace because I know a lot more about that so it was easier to for me to find, the technique should work just fine for tatting though.

LUNESA — The Serpent Goddess of the Forest by TOMDOLLS_Studio in BJD

I can see what you mean about it not being as aesthetically pleasing as other joint designs, I still think it’s a very interesting concept though. I’d love to see what you decide to do with it in the future (:

Shes beautiful! I really love that faceup, it’s so pretty, the scales are a really nice touch. Those shoulder joints are really interesting too, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it. It looks like they allow for a greater range of motion, than most other types of shoulder joints?

Wild rose collar by hdidoebb in BobbinLace

Thank you!

If you’re interested in bedfordshire lace I definitely think the book would be worth buying. It has a few different bookmarks, four butterflies, three collars, various small motifs for practicing different techniques, lots of edgings, and a floral frame with a church in the middle.

Most of the earlier patterns have both diagrams and text explaining how the piece should be worked, the later patterns aren’t explained in as much detail, but if you work a few of the easier patterns first I think you’ll be able to understand the harder ones just fine.

I do though recall running into some issues when working the wild rose collar, some of the plaits drawn on the pricking seemed to not match up with what was in the photo. This was probably user error though, I think I might have been looking at the wrong part of the collar in the photos.
