Hi Fellow Arachnids,
A few days ago I received a beautiful bookmark in Romanian point from Sue Turnbull. Thank you very much indeed Sue I am delighted with it and hope Sue likes the bookmark I sent her yesterday as much. I was later than I had hoped with this as time at present seems to be in very short supply -or is it that as one grows older time seems to go quicker and quicker ;-). As to using plastic film or not on the patterns; I use it as I have had problems with both so-called permanent markers as well as printed patterns in the past. The only safe way is to use Indian ink for marking -I do this on lace card for patterns to be used several times- or cover with plastic film. Soft blue, grey, peach, green, mid-blue or clear plastic film depending on what I am doing and the base colour of the paper, but always matt. The bookmark I did for Sue was done on 2 mm graph paper over a piece of data card covered by mid-blue film and vaguely lined out to show where I wanted elements to go as it was a âone offâ piece. Again my thanks to Sue. Happy lace making to all. Joepie in East Sussex, UK, where it is chilly for June.-about 11 C (54 F) - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
