Update: @talldarknweirdo@mastodon.social pointed me to https://www.theedkins.co.uk/jo/lace/eqfinish.htm - which is exactly what I was seeking. Hooray! Now I just have to actually *do* the thing... 😁

So I have unearthed a real challenge, and I'm hoping for help from the #fiberarts crowd...
I started this #bobbinlace project in college, 30 years ago. It's been sitting in a dusty corner of my home office ever since - mostly because I don't know how to finish it! Can anyone point me at a resource that would enable me to terminate this? If nothing else, it'll make a decent bookmark!

Linkki tälleen tyhmästi, kun pää on jumissa.

Black choker made of hand made bobbin lace. Pattern is based on a traditional model that I modified for this use. Next a white one which is a narrow one.

Any recommendations for Bobbin Lace books on 17th century edgings and inserts for shirts?

#BobbinLace workshops coming up in August and September in #Massachusetts. It's hard to find classes in this historic craft, but we found great class spots in #WorcesterMA and #IpswichMA .

A member of my #lace group noticed that Piecework Magazine has a created a searchable "International #Needlework Museum Directory" that people might enjoy.
Here's to our skilled foremothers.

The Mystery Lace-Maker hard at work

My "almost a square meter of bobbin lace" is soon to reach its end. Just gonna finish this board and then I need to tie off the loose ends. And after that hand-sewing to a cloth I have already weaved of the same thread (16/4 linen). In March this beauty will go to my exhibition in the Finnish Craft Museum.
The pattern is from 18th century. The name is 'Cornucopia vine' (in Finnish Runsaudensarviköynnös), though that is given by some researcher. The original name is not known.

Today I got almost 1,5 cm of this 18th century Rauma bobbin lace done. It took four hours.
:D
