G'day and Good morning everyone, wherever in this world you may be.
It is hard to believe that 2016 is drawing to a close when I still have to concentrate when writing the date LOL. Ah well, that is what happens when you brain gets full of all those past years of memories (also called getting old). Our 2016 Lace Exchange is ticking along nicely with all the name matching being done by our wonderful Janet Theaker. I believe all of you have now begun if not finished your exchange pieces so this is a gentle reminder to scan or photograph your finished work for the website. So far I have received just 11 scans/photos so I am really looking forward to the rest coming in. If you wondered about the person you are sending it to seeing it before it gets there, don't worry, the website will not go live until mid December - but it makes it easier for me if I can get the content all ready, in bite size chunks of my time rather than a marathon effort at the last minute. Please forward the photo/scan to me at je...@brandis.com.au <mailto:je...@brandis.com.au> along with a bit of detail to make the site more interesting. You can check out the previous years at www.brandis.com.au/arachne/ <http://www.brandis.com.au/arachne/> Suggested details could be some or all of this or perhaps you have more to say * Sender and receiver * Where pattern can be found (own design, name of book, author, website, workshop etc) This will help other lacemakers find the source too. * What thread and notions you used * How many bobbins did it take * What is the technique called * How long did it take to make (this year I timed myself and each one took approx. 5 hours) * What part attracted you to this design * ..... I have one more to get off my pillow so I understand that the time can run away with you.
