Re: [lace] plastic for prickings
I usually print my pattern on a colored paper and use matte contact plastic to cover it. If I use two colors in a pattern I get confused :-) if one of the threads have a color that is similar to the plastic or paper so I have some colors to choose from, but mostly I use blue or yellow paper and white if I have a colored thread. The blue contact paper is rather expensive.

I don't think it was the making that would have been the problem, more where to exhibit it and what to do with it afterwards. At least this time there would be somewhere for it to be exhibited initially (at least the problem of number of entries versus gallery space has been addressed this time!). The maximum size allowed could dictate how many individual pieces of lace were incorporated, and we would need to discover the group expert on mounting. But I think it could be done - we have three years (when we know what the theme is to be next time round) and would need to stick to very strict deadlines (to allow time after completion of the lace for collation, construction/mounting, things to go wrong and getting it to The Hollies (or wherever). The only problem would be in the stability of the group membership over that period of time? If the entry won a prize, of course, it would then be a case of voting who would collect, and possibly hold, it on the group's behalf? -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] contact film
Hello Spiders I print with a desk-jet as I have it always at hand. I used to use blue matte film. But switched to couloured paper as blank film is much more easily available as window decoration, next to the wall paper. But maybe that is just the case for crowded regions. Select a matte one without structure. I must admit the ink and/or glue does come off to the pricking needle.

RE: [lace] Arachne group entry
I think an Arachne project would be wonderful!! Someone (or a committee) needs to draw up a "cartoon" of the whole, which has sections (as does "HOOP") and then have those who want to participate indicate what sort of lace they will be working... (Or maybe I have those steps in reverse?) After another strategic session, laying out the "styles" so they flow nicely, each person could get their section of the cartoon... they would design and execute their lace in the size, shape and general subject assigned them. It could be quite spectacular!! Just out of curiosity, how many people would be serious about doing this? Write me privately, and I'll report the number at the end of this week...

[lace] Re: Tönder
Hallo Lacefriends, Looking through my old Tönder things i had the idea to tell something about , for those of you who have never been there or couldn't come this year. Tönder is the oldest danish city who got the official town charter. It is mentioned for the first time in 1130 as a harbour-town and has a ship in its coat of arms. Then in 1243 the town got the right to trade inside its walls what's in danish called "köbstadsret". About 1238 the Franciscan build there a cloistre. But than it become nessecaire to protect the people from the power of the North Sea and they built dykes during 1553 and 1556, and so Tönder lost its importance as a harbour. So they had the idea to support lace-making. the time was good for this. The first time Tönder was named with lace-making was in 1595. In the 18.cent. in and around Tönder more than 12.000 lacemakers did it for their living. Some of the traders and some other people become reach and so they built wonderful houses. I put some of my fotos on the webshots zhat you can get an idea. When i find the time I tell you tommorow about the Tönder-Festval and when I am back I tel you what was this year there.

I had a mermaid piece planned for my group of kids I teach, where those who could draw would produce the initial sketch, the more advanced would make the mermaid, the others could do waves or weed or rocks. Sadly, it didn't take off - they preferred to work as individuals and have their own piece to take home - I can understand that.

Re: [lace] plastic for prickings
Could this item be a Xyron machine? You can get the 5" wide one for a good price(with a Micheael's coupon), and get the 2 sided lamination, or 1 sided sticker type cartridges. I use the 2 sided lamination cartridge for doing up recipe cards. I have the size on MS Word, and they laminate wonderfully. One of these days I'll actually have all my recipes on cards!

[lace] Lace on a baby T shirt
Here's what I've been doing last week: http://www.sandbenders.demon.co.uk/gallery/lizard.htm for my friend's impending baby. The T shirt was dyed once for each colour. The lace is a very simple pattern from a folder by Clare Burkhard of animals. The lizard is in whole stitch, with the outlines in cloth stitch and twist. The body takes 6 pairs, with 3 pairs being added for each leg. I used Bockens 35/2 linen, which I just happened to have in a blue that exactly matched one of the dye colours. Now in progress a big orange fish from the same pattern folder to go on a mainly blue shirt. After that, then the bootees from "Lapsia Nyplaten" (Children in Bobbin Lace), p64, by Eva Lisa Kortelahti, that Alice Howell recommended to me. -- For NASA, space is still a high priority.

[lace] Myth & Mystery
Let me add my congratulations to all the winners. I finally got around to reading my digests tonight and saw the mail from Sue and others. I received a letter from the Lace Guild acknowledging receipt of my entry so I guess I didn't win this time. Looking at the winners on the web page I was surprised to see many winners chose Medusa as a subject, but then it is a good one for Milanese and tape laces. I know there were lots of entries this time, I wonder how many more Medusa's were entered? My subject was a Phoenix, lots of Milanese feathers. Well done to all my Arachne friends.
