hi Arachnids,
Glass might be somewhat fragile and heavy to carry around with all the other
bits needed for a demo. I prefer to use sheets polycarbonate which can be
'clipped' together with upvc 'U' profile all round and is light-weight,
virtually unbreakable, can be re-used and cut to size/shape with a
fine-toothed saw (rub the edges with fine sandpaper). Also, as one would not
leave the lace in it afterwards off-gassing should not be a problem.
Happy lacemaking, Joepie, East Sussex, UK

I was listening to some lace makers discussing the perils of showing pieces
of
lace. People can’t seem to keep their hands off. To say nothing of the
light-fingered. One person suggested putting the lace piece between two
pieces of glass. Seems like a winner to me. Perhaps even something that
can come apart and be put
together again with a different piece. Screws of a discreet nature? Does
anyone have experience with such things, and where does one obtain such
items?
If I search online, what terms do I use in the Google box?
Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, US, where fall days don’t get better than
this.
