  New Revival Bobbin Lace
  Lace by Living Lace Makers and
  Living Lace Designers

     Site Map            Newest piece:

All the laces on this page were made by living lacemakers.   The initials are the lace maker's name.   In some cases, I know who the designer is.  In this case I have marked it db/ plus the initials of the designer.  See Abbreviations for interpretation of the initials.  See Learning Bobbin Lace for simpler, learning laces for these kinds.  I made the ones initialed LH.  Pieces I've made from my own designs are on the My Bobbin Lace page.  Bobbinlace is an art form which still finds adherents.
