Our teapot - it is in my head all the time
I want to do pulled threads with this design

and I changed my mind thought about needle lace.
This is the start. You have to do the outlines by couching
down a thicker thread.
... and then start to do the needle lace. I found
"Needlelace Talk" of Lorelei Halley with wonderful
tutorials and many answers to still more questions.
I am nearly ashamed to show this work following
the post before with the wonderful needlelace.
I made two posts not to have the direct comparison.
I am in awe of your needle lace! It looks amazing.
