This is my lace corner for the holidays. I love making bobbin lace ornaments. There are also a few ornaments made by my mother on her embroidery machine and a crochet ornament given to me as a gift by my niece. This tree is the same tree used for the autumn if you read my blog regularly. It is fun to use it for the various themes and seasons.
The angel is 'Angel of Hope' from Lavender and Lace. I seem to like her earlier angels the best. I think it is because I still remember the excitement of visiting my parents in the States and discovering these designs for the first time.
The lace tree lit up in the evening gives a really romantic look. The lace catches the light beautifully.
Some detail photos of the lace for those who like bobbin lace.
Some ornaments take days of work while others can be made up in just an afternoon.
I used an ivory linen thread combined with various thicknesses of metallic gold thread for my ornaments.
This is actually to wrap around a candle but I loved using it in the tree. It was made with thick metallic thread.

Heidi,
I cannot imagine the amount of time you put into these beautiful ornaments! They are so wonderful and I love the 3D effect. I can't imagine working with thick metallic thread, either!

Hello Heidi,
The only word I can think of is breathtaking! Your lace ornaments are exquisite, and I can't even imagine making these. Your Angel of Hope is lovely, and I love the angel feather wings at the top of your tree. Thank you so much for sharing this.
