Nancy Today: Bobbin lace bobbin making 1

I'm going to make some bobbins out of all these beads I have. I used to make earrings and other jewelry, so I have lots of beads I can use. I'd like to do some bobbin lace, but I can't find bobbins. I will make them, then!

I'm thinking maybe what you could end up with would make a good wind chime decoration.

@EverLastingOCD LOL! I suppose!

I love your French ! :D Have you been doing lace for a long time???

[NancyToday]

@Quebecusa Me, French? Mait non! I learned some lacemaking last winter while I took care of my mom in Georgia. I've not done it since April. :( Do you do it?

[Quebecusa]

@NancyToday No, I find it too difficult. My grandmother used to do some my mother told me. It is quite rare to find people who know how to do lace today! You are a rare survivor of lace! ;)

[NancyToday]

@Quebecusa I guess I'm determined to learn all the old skills so I can pass them on...I guess youtube is where I am passing them on from! Meeting interesting people on the way, too!

@Bethintx1 What a good idea! I put it on my ideas list. Thanks!

How about making some lace bobbins out of clay?
