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 Bobbinlace page. Bobbinlace is an art form which still finds adherents.
