In my response to the Battle of Britain commemorative lace
panel I’ve decided to include simple images of some lace machine equipment to
represent those who made the lace and the machines they used. I’ll be including
images of the bobbins and carriages shown in the picture as well as
representations of jacquard cards and drafts. The bobbins and their holders
will probably be made of fabric and applied in a Carrickmacross technique but
the cards and drafts will be separate applied pieces. I’ve made a start on the
‘drafts’ using stitching on canvas to give me the appearance of a design using
rectangle shapes but I’m still deciding how to represent the rows of holes on
the jacquard cards.
