Hi All,
I find this a very interesting discussion - especially the 'if it's not
Ugly, it's not art' bit! I am quite conservative in my lace - but I am
beginning to enjoy including colour in items. After choosing a pink gimp
in one Flanders weekend class, which was shouted down by the tutor, and
which I not-so-bravely changed to a white gimp, I had become very wary of
inserting colour. But - I have a friend who is an absolute whizz at
choosing colours which, at first sight, would appear completely incompatible
but, when actually used, look fantastic. So - I do get better ....
But - I am also one who, although liking the Brugges Bloemwerk patterns,
feel that the lace looks much more to my taste - and I emphasise MY taste -
if it is greatly reduced, and uses much, much finer threads. Now - am I
making Brugges Bloemwerk lace - which I suspect I am not! - can it be called
contemporary, or is it just a bastardised lace? I do mainly use the
Brugges techniques - but sometimes even there I may think some other
technique fits better, and looks better - so when I display my work when
demonstrating, what do I call it?
Over to you, friends!
Carol - in Suffolk UK - where we had our summer yesterday and Saturday, but
today is very overcast and not nearly as bright.
