"I think the canaletto paper is more popular in Europe, but am very curious if anyone is familiar with it for this purpose (to replace architect's linen." Susan
*** "I always connect architect's linen with needle lace, as it's reasonably soft and flexible..."Jacquie in Lincolnshire. *** The query began with a comparable to replace architect's linen, including canaletto (more predominate in Europe) and went various ways from there. There is also a blue stencil paper available in Europe, that is harder to find in the US. I am curious firstly, if people have found a good replacement for architect's linen, and further discussion on any and all related, then the subject was changed to "prickings." I think the lines became blurred as there was a discussion of NA cardstock, which I noted I am familiar, and then Alice was kind enough to share detailed information of her pricking's journey and life. I think some prefer more flexible, or stiffer bases for either technique. For instance, I feel my "paper" needs for Honiton on a Honiton pillow, are different than say, working torchon on a flatter pillow. What are most of you using to replace architect's paper, and has anyone tried canaletto? It has about 3 coatings, which could make it quite stiff, but typically fibers like linen and cotton are more pliable and durable than wood fibers and can soften. Any and all discussion of any related, is welcomed. Best, Susan Reishus - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
