It was rainy all day today :(
I went to my sister's apartment to learn the 'Bobbin Lace' from my aunt.
My mother, sister and I have learned it from her about 4 years.
My aunt is my mother's cousin, and now she lives in both Tokyo
and Hokkaido, where is northern part of Japan.
When she comes back to Tokyo every month about two weeks,
we learn the lace from her.
She had learned the lace when she lived in Sultanate of Oman
because of her husband's job. Since the country is influenced by England,
she had learned the English style bobbin lace, which is a little different
from other European's lace.
When I got married, she made this ring cushion for me:
This is my treasure!
Well, what we made today is this:
I'm sorry that this picture is not taken well... This is a bear!
For this bear, we use 16 pars of bobbins,
and when I make it's arms, 5 more bobbins are added.
Also, we will make three baloons, so it will be very cute.
I will put up the picture when I finish this in the next lesson.
Thank you very much for reading!!
