Milanese Lace

April, 2007, I just finished making this hummingbird following Louise Colgan’s DVD.  Next week I will be taking another class with her, so I wanted to make something quick and easy as a refresher in Milanese lace. 

 

In May 2002, I took a three-day course in Newberg, OR with Louise Colgan and made this Milanese heart.

 

 

Later I took another class with Louise Colgan and made this butterfly.

 

 

I enjoyed making Milanese Lace so much that I continued by working through some of the lessons in the book by Sandi Woods, Special Effects in Bobbin Lace.

 

    

 

 

Below is a picture of the very first Milanese piece I tried to make.  This was actually the first lace I ever made without the help from a teacher.  All I had was a picture of the finished lace, so I fumbled my way through.
