Flowers and Butterflies in 3D Bobbin Lace - Dorothy K Cox

  • Publisher ‏ : ‎ Dorothy K.Cox (1 Feb. 1998)
  • ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0950855820
  • ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0950855820
Flowers and Butterflies in 3D Bobbin Lace by Dorothy K Cox
Dorothy K Cox is best know for her 'making lace with little grey rabbit' book but this is also a great book if you are interested in making three dimensional flowers.

This makes a great companion volume to Doris Olsen & Joyce Willmot's books
What works well?
  • The book has very clear, hand drawn diagrams along with 3 colour plates.
Picture
Anything that we need to take into consideration?
  • There should be an Addenda with the book with further suggestions - check it has been included.  I have added in the text of this below.
  • This book is out of print, but occasionally it comes up second hand on eBay and lace suppliers.
Addenda
Further Suggestions -
Page 44 - Snowdrop.
Instead of Moss Green Sylko use double strands of Anchor stranded or DMC Coton a Broder 25, in LIME GREEN
Page 31 - Iris diagrams
Lengthen the wing petal pricking by adding in 4 or 5 more holes at the bottom

    I'm the lace bee and these are my books

    With currently over 400 books and about the same number of individual patterns, I have an enviable library.  So here are some of my books.

    ​You can see all of the titles by opening up the archives or by clicking on the categories which I've used to group by authors, language and lace types.  Want to find a particular book?  Scroll to the top of the page, click on the magnifier glass and type in a title or author.

    I am very grateful to the lace gumnuts of Australia for permission to quote and link their reviews to this site.
