First make this:

This is meant to be a first project for someone who wants to make renaissance bobbin-lace.

Warmup: Meyer's six cuts example from the treatise on the Dusack.  With longsword you end on the same foot that you started, so this passage can be mirrored on the other side.

A selection of Meyer's devices from the postures.

Eleanor, Martuccio and Ludwig played at rapier to their mutual entertainment.  Martuccio over-stepped, leading him to complain later of a sore rear-end, despite that it was Ludwig's getting kicked.

Another evening of brushing up things we've not done for a while, so as to be ready for next weekend's ball.

Present: Katherina Weyssin, Katherine of Glastonbury, Anna de Wilde, Caterine de Vantier, William de Cameron

A three-coloured silk lace, based on this one (08.180.505) in the Metropolitan Museum  (www.metmuseum.org).

The original lace, above, and mine, worked to my second pattern, below.

We've been rehearsing hard for the last few weeks. For the next few, we'll be revisiting dances we used to know well but haven't tried for some time, and brushing them up for the ball.

Present: Katherina Weyssin, William de Cameron, Anna de Wilde, Katherine of Glastonbury, Caterine de Vantier.

Tonight we did:

Bobbin-lace made to decorate Eleanor Hall's new Venetian gown, in return for which she will make a brocaded tablet-woven band for the hat I bought from Samantha at Canterbury Faire.

 The project has been ongoing, it's just that the little bits that I have been working on haven't been very interesting.
