Pattern Making

Part of the reason that I was so attracted to bobbin lace is that there are ways to work it into shapes, in a way that tatting isn't nearly as forgiving with.  Tatting is a single line that you have to work with, but the line has rules, it needs to touch itself every so often, it can be misshapen and just in general it is not as flexible in shape as other forms of fiber work.

Bobbin lace can be whatever two dimensional shape it wants!  You just have to make a pattern in the shape that you want.  I'm not going to pretend to know what I'm doing though so... This project may end up like crap!
