Prompt
A close-up of a lacemaker's hands working bobbin lace on a firm stuffed pillow, dozens of wooden bobbins hanging from pairs of threads in a shallow V, the pattern pinned to the pillow with brass pins, the worked section showing a fine grid of twisted linen threads, the unworked section showing the pinned pattern below, the hands mid- twist with two bobbins crossed, warm window light raking from the left, soft focus on the hanging bobbins behind, no text, no letters

How to use this prompt
"Pairs of threads in a shallow V" is the phrase that gives Flux the bobbin-lace structure — bobbins hang in pairs, and the V is the angle the thread forms between the pin and the bobbin weight. "Hands mid-twist with two bobbins crossed" names the specific action; a generic "making lace" renders as a hand holding thread. "The worked section showing a fine grid of twisted linen threads" versus "the unworked section showing the pinned pattern below" is the before-and-after that makes the process readable. "Brass pins" is the detail that sells the craft — lacemaking uses brass-headed pins, and the glint is a visual cue. The 3:4 portrait suits the close crop on the hands and pillow.
Variations to try
- Pull back to show the full lace pillow with a finished strip of torchon lace along the edge
- Switch to abinette-ground lace with finer bobbins and a darker thread for a high-contrast study
