I have finally finished the piece of bobbin lace based on earth
for the fan series I’m working on inspired by the four elements. I’m pleased
with the colour combination and putting it together with the lace for the other
two I’ve recently finished (air and fire) they work well together. I made the
water fan a while ago for an exhibition in Valtopina, Italy and I want to make
the other three in the same way so they form a group. For that fan I embedded
the lace in silk paper and used a simple wire frame to make the fan shape so I’ll
do the same with these. I’ve been looking through my silk fibres to see what colours
I have and I think I’ve got the right colours for earth and air but I may have
to dye some for the fire fan. I also need to make the wire shapes to attach
them to. Perhaps my excitement on finishing the lace was misplaced I still seem
to have quite a lot to do for this project!
