Yesterday I picked up a magazine as it said 'The Art of the lacemaker' on the front. Looking inside I saw the article was about Arachne's own Jean Leader. So I bought the magazine and sat down to read. The article was interesting and there was a nice series of photos down the side showing a good selection of lace types. A photo of Jean's pillow with lace in progress showed bobbin lace but the photo at the top which had a piece within it describing how bobbin lace is made was actually crochet! On the following pages were ideas on how to use lace doilies in the home.... from stiffening them to make bowls, covering stones with them and cutting them up to make bunting. The most disturbing was the image of a nice Battenburg doily being pressed into biscuit dough to imprint the pattern......
Nice to have lace out there in the press but no mention was made of making sure it wasn't Granny's heirloom lace you were pressing into the dough or chopping up..... Lots of nice other stuff in the magazine too.. called Landscape ISBN 2049-8950 £3.90 in the UK www.landscapemagazine.co.uk Lynne in a slightly chilly but sunshiny (at last) Baldock, North Herts, UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
