[Ansteorra] searching for information tambour lace working

[Vicki Marsh]

Hmmm.

I did a search on Google.com using the term "Tambour Lace" in quotation
marks and found the following links:


http://lace.lacefairy.com/ID/TamboutID.html

Which led me to the Lacis website where I searched on 'tambour':

Also, by searching on Amazon.com, I came across this reference:

Greetings all, 
     I am soooo wanting to learn tambour lace-making... I think that I
aquired a tambour hook in a bunch of hooks and needles I was given recently.
Looks like the finest crochet hook I have ever seen, and old -metal has
darkened and the handle is of bone. 
     I looked up 'tambour lace,' 'Limerick lace,' 'tambour embroidery,'
'tulle lace,' and anything else I can think of, and find NOTHING online to
help me out but pictures from museums. I seek the "how-to" end of the craft.
Does ANYONE know of any sites that can help me? Or resources offline, books,
whatever... I would so like some pointers and/ or encouragement. It seems
like such a neat craft, I would like to learn. I am just running into brick
walls, so to speak. Any help is appreciated. 
   Many thanks for attention given to my plight.
