This is a pattern only for you to make your own angel in Bucks point bobbin lace techniques. It is an easier pattern than 'Lyn' but some knowledge of Bucks Point is required. It has been designed to follow on from the techniques in the lace book - Bucks Point Lace Workbook. It does have some floral techniques particularly in the flower part of the design. This is for the pattern sheet only, to prepare your own pricking from, but does include some instructions and working diagrams. (Laser cut pattern will be available later)
It was designed in memory of Anita Wilkinson, who was my lace teacher for many years and aims to capture some of her personality.
