Hi All, Don't forget the Seven Dwarfs! Personally, I'm thinking about Tamara's seven mountains, etc. and Jo's village name.
Me, I like the sins (because of colour possibilities) and the Seven Sisters roses (because many people could participate)
I'm thinking about squares that fit together to form the larger picture. Then some would be easier to make to fill in the sky or the seven forests.
And I'm thinking that a 3-D project would open the project to more participants (though it would be a nightmare to assemble and then ship to its destination), *if* we're permitted to go ahead with it.
pattern drafting such a large project sounds like a nightmare!
Well, as I remember it, the *size* is "prescribed" by the competition rules (though I don't remember what it is... Anyone?). That's why I'm thinking a 3-D might offer more scope; an ordinary lace group is likely to have maybe 10-15 members participating. If this Arachne project "flies", we're likely to have many more. Even if we have a division of labour (different people drawing overall pictures, deciding which drawing to accept for the group, designing it in lace so the bits would fit, parcelling out the bits, with instructions etc), it will still be difficult to accomodate everyone.
Unless, of course, the whole idea becomes so popular, that most people decide to enter individual projects, with a little "as inpired by Arachne" note attached :) In which case, the organizers might, again, not be able to exhibit everyone's entry...
