Re: [lace] Seven........
Used symbolically, 7 often denotes completion or perfection. Lacemakers from around the world cooperating to complete an an entry would be pretty perfect - whatever the subject matter.

[lace] Re: Tönder-Festival
Hello Lacefriends, Very quick a bit about the festival. It was for the first time in 1989, since then every three years on the first weekend of june it take place and it lasted three days. In january 18th 1990 the society was founded and admits interested individuals, societies and institutions. The subscriptions covers a period of three years. Sorry I couldn't find something about the fee. Their purposes are to arrange the lacefestival and to take the initiative in developing the lace-making art. During the festivals they offer lectures in different languages, workshops, excursions, the coffee table on friday evening and a banquet saturday night. There is allways a big salesroom and different lace organisation present themselves. On several places in town and around Tönder you can visit exhibitions. And Tönder itself is worth to be visited (have a look at the webshots http://community.webshots.com/user/arachne2003 During this days the shops have nice lace-decorations in their windows. You will meet friends on every doorstep. You see its worth to come and take part. Hope you are eager now to come one year there.

[lace] Myth or Mystery Exhibition
My congratulations to the winners also - fabulous lace! I emailed arachne on friday and the message seems not to have gone through. Perhaps its just as well as I was rather upset and it probably sounded horrible! >I know there were lots of entries this time, There were 266 entries in the competition - about 80 of them have not been displayed. Is there anyone else on Arachne who's work failed to make the exhibition? You'll know because you will have received a letter telling you. Has anyone heard how the work was chosen for display? Or rather why particular pieces were rejected? Weren't they good enough? Didn't fit the theme? Too big/too small/wrong size? Was it on the basis of the Judges opinion? Or was it done by a Committee? The letter I received offered no information about why my work had been rejected. I've had work in the Lace Guild Exhibitions on and off since the early '80's and I've never heard of lace being rejected before, so the letter came as a real shock. For comparison, over 260 pieces were entered in the 1993 John Bull Competition, Lace and Nature. >and I believe the ones that >couldn't be displayed will be on show at The Hollies from mid July. Jane (Partridge) is correct - according to the letter the work is being put into storage at the Museum until it can be returned to The Hollies for display from 16 July. Although this fact has not previously been advertised so I don't know who they expect to visit. After so much work it is such a disappointment. Those visiting the museum please take time to look at the photo album. It represents one third of the exhibition entry.

I went from elation to depression, as I opened first one envelope from the Lace Guild and then later the other from Coventry council. As you say there was no indication why a piece wasn't being included other than space at the gallery and the number of entries. I too am very disappointed not to have both pieces displayed, particularly as many more hours went into the wood nymph than the book. It was a physical struggle to make a piece of lace over a polystyrene wig holder, and one I didn't much enjoy. But I quite understand that if pieces needed to be cut, it was fair that I should only have one piece exhibited. Your work is beautiful and I'm sure it would have been more than good enough to be displayed. I guess the extra exhibition at the Hollies was a last minute decision when they realised how many pieces they had to display. It is a real shame, and you have my sympathy. I am trying to find out how ot post pictures of mine at the Arachne webshots page. Why don't we all add our photos of the "Myth or Mystery" pieces to the site?

[lace] Danish wedding gowns
Hi Everyone, I managed to visit the exhibition of wedding gowns today at the royal palace of Amalienborg, and if any of you are in Copenhagen, it is well worth a visit. It is running until September. Crown princess Mary's dress is a dream. The Carrickmacross lace veil is wonderful and as I mentioned earlier, the same Carrickmacross lace was also the under the folds of her dress. The Carrickmacross lace on Mary's dress was the same lace, which had been on the front panel of Queen Margrethe's wedding dress in 1967. Queen Margrethe's dress was also on display - minus the Carickmacross and also minus the Tønder lace "Big Heart" trimming on her train. The lace had been removed after the wedding to be kept for later use in the royal family. Queen Ingrid's dress and Queen Alexandrine's dresses were also to be seen, but they had no lace trimming. Beside Mary's dress was the beautiful Tonder lace handkerchief made especially for her by Astrid Elton Hansen. It is described in a very nice article in the latest magazine from the Danish Lace Guild. The Carrickmacross fan, handkerchief and another lace trimming, which originally accompanied the veil, were also to be seen along with a beautiful documentation of the gift from the women of Connaught. The lace was originally a gift to princess Margaret of Connaught who was a grandchild of Queen Victoria and daughter of Victoria's son, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. There is a very nice and well illustrated small catalogue, which can be bought at the exhibition for 45 Danish kroner (approx. 4 English pounds or 7 dollars). The catalogue has English and Danish texts. I didn't have to wait in a queue to see the exhibition but there were quite a lot of people. There was no limit to the time that one spent in the exhibition and Mary's dress and veil were not under glass, as were the other exhibits. You could buy a foto permit for a little extra and flash was allowed. I hope that some of you have the chance to see the exhibition. If you have to drag your long suffering hubby along, there is also a permanent exhibition of the private studies of Denmark's kings from 1863 up to the last king Frederik 9th who died in 1972. Unfortunately I wont be able to come to the Tonder Lace Festival this year but I hope that it is a big success and that those of you who attend have a great time. All the best and keep bobbin' along from Avril -- And on the 8th day, God created golf courses and lacemakers Avril Bayne Denmark - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] Lace Guild website update with Exhibition Gallery
I forgot to say that I have *not* posted the Myth and Mystery stuff on the French version of the web site yet. I need a translation of the text on the first page (and some time). (For the same reason the Lace Census Luggage Labels are also only on the English version.) Might get round to doing them later, but we've got the April mag extracts to do first. I've done a little bit of tweaking with the MorM pages, so if anyone has had any problems, go back, refresh/reload, and navigate slowly through the gallery, reading the captions (there's magic happening while you're looking at one pic that makes the next one appear quickly).

[lace] Arachne lace project
Shirley Tregellas in Adelaide, S.Australia, wrote me the following note, but I'm sending it on to the list because I think she raises a very good point, to which I don't have a solution. My immediate thought was that this could be done as an exhibition piece, not to be judged. > This all sounds like a fantastic idea but I have a comment! If Arachne works as a group, how can we keep the judges (whoever they might be) from knowing what we are working on, assuming that instruction and participation is via e-mail on Arachne. Or will the messages be privately sent to only those who agree to participate. I thought the origin of the competition pieces were to be secret until after judging? It really is a fantastic idea and would bring a lot of lacemakers world wide together. And if the idea flows and we actually enter a piece, please include my name in the group for a "small piece". I've been making bobbin lace for 15 years so I'm what you might call 'intermediate' having worked Torchon, Beds, Bucks, Honiton and Milanese. < Clay Clay Blackwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think we'd need to know a bit more what is and what isn't possible, before we plunge into the project. So, is there anyone on the list who could answer such questions?

I would like to add my Contratulations to all those wonderful lacemakers who won trophies at the Exhibition. The standard is SO high. I was awarded a Medal of Excellence for my needlelace (traditional - a Gros Point flower spray), and I am absolutely "Over the Moon" about it. To have my work recognised in that sort of company is quite amazing, and I feel very honoured. How ever the judges managed to choose the John Bull Trophy winner from those entries shown on the Guild web site, I don't know! It must have been a very difficult task. I am constantly amazed at the inventiveness of lacemakers, and the fantastic ideas they have to fit into themes.

For the military, time is written in four digits 7:00 AM = 0700 4:00 PM = 1600 All those trailing zeros make time look like hundreds.
