Easy lace - Floral motifs, appliqués and ornaments

Starting with mixed tape lace designs, the patterns cover floral motifs as outlines. Moving on, the patterns then move to Jewellery using narrow ribbon to create flowers in the lace.

Step by step instructions on how to make lace are included in this book, in french, however the enthusiastic non French speaking lacemaker should be able to tackle these unusual projects

What works well?

Clear, full colour photos of techniques and working diagrams

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

Whilst this book is in French this should not prove an issue for those who do not speak French, check out my post on translations

Bobbin Lace Jewellery by Jennifer MacPherson
I met Jennifer at the Lace Guild Rally in 2012, just after she launched this book and was lucky enough to see some of her pieces in real life.

I would definitely suggest this book for the adventurous beginner as Jennifer provides clear instructions and includes the supplementary pack of techniques.

Perhaps this is a great follow on book from Pat Read's An Introduction to Milanese Lace from the Lace Guild

What works well?

This book comes with a supplementary pack which is normally attached to the back cover - check this is included if buying second hand

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

This book is still in print and available from the author so do support Jennifer by buying direct.
