Pantydraco
Behold my humble contribution to Dinosaurs in Lingerie Day! This is my rendition of Pantydraco, a sauropodomorph from the Late Triassic. Yes, I picked it solely because of the name. Because panties. Ha. I thought it would be fitting for the lingerie thing. Anyways... enjoy :3

One more from the heap of raw ideas and unfinished projects: This one from almost precisely 2 years ago, going under the working title "Computational Lace", but really a kind of fractal process based on an initial 2D SDF, creating a surprising amount of complexity from even the simplest seed shapes...

This is again one of these projects requiring a full size view to appreciate the fine structures emerging...

Ok, back to this thread, my images loaded up overnight. #MFABoston #lace items.

I saw some of the earliest lace pattern books. One by Isabella Parasole 1625, and one by Cesare Vecellio 1591. They are smaller than I thought from the online prints I've seen.

A third lace pattern book was in another case nearby. Domenico da Sera's 1543 "Ornamento de le belle e virtudiose donne". This book was new to me, needs to get into #Wikipedia...

#BobbinLace #Needlelace #reticella #TextileHistory

A display case of wall mounted lace objects, with two smallish books open on a shelf at the base.

Top item is a white folding fan made of cut leather parchment, but made to look like the reticella lace patterns of the period, which can be seen in the books below.

A center linen runner with unicorns and stars. I think it's cutwork and embroidered stitches around drawn thread. 

Isabella Parasole's book with a woodcut showing 6 reticella patterns is on the left.

Cesare Vecellio's book is to the right.
Isabella Parasole's book, open to a page with reticella designs. It's black ink for background, with white areas showing where to make stitches to make the lace.

My hand for scale. Each side is only the length from my index finger tip to my outstretched thumb which sits at around where the book spine is.
Cesare Vecellio's book, open to one page with what looks like punto in aria designs. It's black ink for background, with white areas showing where to make stitches to make the lace.

The other page shows a sketch of women dutifully working on their textiles.

My hand shows it's also about the same size as the other book, finger to thumb.
A woodcut book with lace patterns, open with two pages to show black ink backgrounds illustrating where to make the lace stitches.

Each open page has 3 strips of different lace patterns.

Book is Domenico da Sera's 1543 one.

If you are interested in #BobbinLace history at all, there's an nice paper you can get from Lace in Context blog. I had to write the author for it, the OA isn't working.

Anyway, it was charming and informative about the French lacemakers.

I even laughed out loud in the section where he covers this: "extreme enthusiasm for feet warmers".

I have always noticed these in paintings and thought it was a weird quirk. But it's legit!

Kävi silleen hassusti, että mulla oli about metri pitsiä, enkä oikein tiennyt mitä sillä tekisin. Sit kävin tarjoamassa sitä mun Vanhassa Raumassa sijaitsevaan suosikkiravintolaan verhopitsiksi ja yrittäjähän innostui ideasta. Pitsin nyplättyäni (305 cm) myös kudoin samasta langasta sille sopivan kankaan, jotta sain sen nätisti verhovaijeriin roikkumaan.

Hey #BobbinLace and #NeedleLace nerds: I'm about to list a 1983 copy of #SantinaLevey's "Lace: A History" book on an auction site. I got another copy recently, and I don't need two.

Before I do that, I thought I'd offer here in case a lacemaker craves one. I was going to start it at auction for $250 USD. Media mail US shipping is about $10.

In good used shape, with dust jacket. Some pencil notes from previous #lace nerd. But images remain excellent quality.

A copy of the very heavy reference book for lace by Santina Levey. The jacket has a little wear on the edges, but is otherwise intact.

The cover is the famous portrait of Maria Theresa of Austria in her lace laden pink gown with other regal looking furniture around.
A page from inside the Levey book with the definitions, and someone has written a note in pencil next to "punto in aria" that says "reticello".

I forgot to do a #WIPWednesday for a while. Got busy, but also because it's the same damn work, only longer.... Lace is a #SlowHobby.

This is an #IpswichLace replica pattern. These were found in #AlexanderHamilton's papers and patterns recreated from original samples of ~1790 #American #BobbinLace from #Massachusetts.

#TextileHistory #Lace #IpswichMA

A bobbin lace roller pillow, shot from the back. It's an oval sort of platform, with a cylinder in the middle that turns as you work your pattern around. A little holder in the back winds the completed yardage. 

It is a black silk lace, about 2 inches wide. The fancy edge has kind of a wavy look with little picots off the side. In each wave trough a small diamond motif forms. The rest of the lace is the ground stitch, just like the background that lets the motifs show up. 

The completed part has pins removed. The recent work still has brass pins at each stitch location to hold them until you get further along.

Towards the upper part of the photo, the 50 or so bobbins wound with the unused thread are waiting.
An opened up piece of my completed black silk lace, unwound  to see the detail. 

About 2 inches wide, it has one side that has a wavy motif with a heavy border. The outermost edge has little picot twisted bits.  In the trough of each wave is a little diamond shape stitch area. 

The other edge is called the sewing edge, and you'd put something like this on your black shawl or cape edge using that sewing edge. It just has an extra close thread to make a border at the edge. 

It's just laid out on a white linen fabric for contrast. It's still attached to the working section over on the right so it's hard to photograph well. The working section has brass pins in the yellow pattern paper where the stitches get made. It's on a roll that I can turn as I complete a segment.

If you're not familiar with what I do, a hobby of mine is I like to find old public domain crafting books on the internet archive and add image descriptions and transcribe text because many times the ai generated ones are pretty sub par and make the audio buttons moot.

Practicing a bobbin lace ground. (Dates from the 1500s.) Whole stitch.
This isnt a lot of bobbins. Is small number and small paper pattern. I still have to pay close attention to what I'm doing.
Of all the lacemaking styles I know, this type is the hardest and requires the most materials to do. (Dozens of bobbins.)
I'm an ultra beginner. Made many mistakes.
But the bobbins go Clack Clack and that is good. 😌

I just finished up hand stitching a hem on a skirt for a friend, and realized this #lace scarf I made using the “Branching Out” pattern found on #Knitty @knittymag years and years ago would go great with the skirt. In all the years I had this after finishing it, I’ve only used it twice. So, I sent it back with the skirt to start its “new life.” I used a brown glittery cotton #crochet thread. #knitting #sewing

@BITPRINT Thanks & I hear you! Defining intervals for dipping the brush based on element count seems to work well enough for pointillism, but the tools can also support strokes of different lengths, and re-segmenting them based on max. draw distance (per stroke). I've also just added some new code for defining models of linear or radial-layout paint palettes and so make it even easier to code this brush-refill logic by just saying use palette slot N (maybe also combining with brush cleaning/drying). This too works pretty well, but obviously a (slow) ongoing process and still lots of refinements planned/coming! :)

Re: drawing with 3D printers: Oh, I've been doing this myself for while (see pics from 2017) and I shall return to this later this year. The drawing commands used by https://thi.ng/axidraw are all informed by this earlier work and purposefully abstracted enough to be also usable with other devices and command flavors/machines (e.g. G-Code based), so should be very easy to adapt with the older tooling for the Ultimaker etc.

(Btw. that Type-A Series 1 3D printer from the pics might still be in possession of the LDN Hackspace — we donated it to @jonty a few years ago...)

There are many things I could post for the "intentional holes" part of #Fiberuary, only it turns out lots of my old photographs are archived, and I will have to dig though them. I did find this shawl, though. It's Renaissance Shawl 2, with bead placement somewhat altered from the pattern. I like how the holes are not just intentional, but kind of aggressive about it. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/renaissance-shawl-2

#Fiberuary - week 3's theme is "intentional holes".

I'm going with #crochet #lace for that.

This shawl is made from the pattern "Night in Paris" from Drops. I've used handspun yarn (cheviot handdyed with a long gradient, split lengthwise and 2ply).

I'd spun the yarn years ago, but it was one of the first Corona projects I did.

Right, so the S motif has completely taken over my brain, and I've spent most of this weekend working on a reversible version. It's at least as much texture as lace at this point. #knitting #lace
