I’ve been busy this week working on my response to the
Battle of Britain commemorative lace panel. I’ve decided to make three thin
panels rather than one large one, as in the original, for two main reasons. It
will make mine different from the original, after all I’m not trying to make a
replica I’m producing a new response to it, and it will make it much easier to
work. It also allows some flexibility in hanging as the panels can then be
displayed next to each other or apart. I’m incorporating digitally printed
images of the bomb scenes in the original, showing how they appear today, and
all those pictures have now been taken and digitally amended except for one
which I’ve planned to do next week. I’ve now finalised the design and bought
all the materials and have started working on the net. The design is mainly
needle run lace but will also include some Carrickmacross techniques as well as
some silk paper and some counted thread work. I’m now drawing up a schedule for
those inclusions as they can be made and worked on away from the frame I’m
using for the main net.
