Re: [lace] wire lace with hammer and nails
Two years ago I met a Finnish lacemaker who made lace whith a hammer and nails too, not with wire but with very thick linen thread. The result is beautiful. You can see her on my website : www.athdentelle.be . Click on activités on the left side, then on Les 25 ans de l'Académie de dentelles de Marche-en-Famenne and there on la salle étrangers, you'll see her work on the pictures nb 61-62-63 and 64.

[lace] Re: competition rules
I have never entered a group piece to the competition, but I think that the other class rules don't apply to the group entries. The group entries are judged as a separate class from the other classes which have specific dimension or other requirements. we would need to enter class 23 group entry from three or more adult lacemakers (or mix of adult children). I like your idea of the hat with the design giong all the way round it . Sue Sue sent me a copy of the competition rules as I don't subscribe to Lace. Even if English was my mother tongue, I might not be sure how to interpret everything. One option states As you like it - a piece in 2 or 3 dimensions (but please make it easy to stage). It looks like it gives us total freedom of size. The idea of a hat appeals to me, seven ribbons in seven colors, seven sections... And a design only seems to be an option too. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] wire lace
Hi Liz All, Well, I wish I could say I was more productive Liz - but only 1 more pyramid has been completed :( It is quite frustrating, as the wire tends to break unless you are REALLY REALLY careful. There is a battle between wanting to keep the buttonhole stitches quite close together (my natural tension tends to be a bit too firm) versus the pliability/breaking point of the wire (100 micron, sorry don't have Patty's info re gauge numbers with me here at work). You know when you kind of get into that zen flow, where you strike the right rhythm and touch, and the stitches seem to appear without effort? Well that point doesn't come easily with wire g. So instead I have finished my lace census tag and have been playing around with some hollie point sample squares (as in Catherine Barley's wonderful NL book), trying out the 3 different methods to produce hollie point. Guess I'd better try to get some more of the wire reticella completed before the next lace day!

[lace] Gros Point Flower
Isn't it great that we all like different things,? I think the world would be SO boring if we all liked the same!! I so admire your Rosalibre, Tamara, but don't think I would/could ever do it - like Milanese, and Honiton - not my thing at all - NL is easier!!! (for me, anyway!) These differences are what keep the Lace Lists so interesting - as there are questions, and comments on so many different laces. We can all drool over them , even if we don't make them!!! - and we admire the skills of those who Do make them. It all adds to the fun of Lacemaking!

Vegetarian pillow - was RE: [lace] wire lace with hammer and nails
Still laughing. When demonstrating we often suggest that lace can be made using inexpensive tools to see if this is a hobby you are prepared to invest much time and money in. But we suggest pillows made from discarded polystyrene fruit or vegetable boxes, not the contents! Follow the links below but choose la Salle de Marche. At the bottom of the page is a work in progress - the pillow is a watermelon and the bobbins are carrots!!!

[lace-chat] British accents
I've noticed too that (apart from 'Eastenders', where there are more villains than normal people living in one small area, and even the normal people aren't normal!) purely British films, TV series, plays, etc often use accents to differentiate the goodies from the baddies, with the baddies having Geordie or gruff Scottish accents as a strong contrast to estuary English goodies.

[lace-chat] Class and British accents
On Tuesday, February 15, 2005, at 02:48 AM, Bev Walker wrote: What is tricky to do, for some British and American actors, is the Canadian accent ~ You've hit the nail on the head. I remember going to a play in London, years ago. The two lead parts were supposed to be Canadians and they both spoke with U.S. Mid-Western accents, which you'd never hear here. It bothered me so much that I almost walked out at the intermission, but I wanted to see how the play ended. Just as we all have accents, we all live in societies/countries with a class system. It's just more subtle in some countries than in others. Way back in the dark ages (1960s), when I was at university, I took a sociology course entitled 'Class and caste in North America'. It was fascinating.

[lace-chat] book raffle
Just to prove I'm not as uncharitable as my (admittedly) catty remark about Camilla would suggest (although I was just stating a fact) I have a book to raffle. I bought it second hand some time ago meaning to raffle it on arache, but life as been a bit hectic lately and I forgot. However - the book is 'Duchesse lace - an Introduction' by Jane Newble-de Graaf, published by Batsford in 1989, but now OOP. Please send me your name if you would like to enter - for any newbies, this is a free raffle, and I will pay the postage costs to anywhere in the world (although I'm not promising airmail to more distant shores as the book is quite heavy!)

However: We are criticising a hair style, which is so unflattering it draws negative attention to the wearer. This in itself is not a criticism of the person within. The pair have made a public declaration, including permitting photos, which have appeared on front pages of newspapers, and on websites. They can appear as they wish, but the more, shall I say, idisosyncratic the appearance, the more chance of caricature, in terms of the press, that is licenced ridicule. I think a person who wants to win over the public is ill-advised to be too cavalier about their appearance. If the individuals would have been discreet, and photos published without their permission, I would have respected the former, and criticized the latter. bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A big thank you to my Secret Pal. My bobbins are wonderful. I think the Lady bug will be my new favorite. I love the heart one also but Ladybugs steal my heart. The notecards will be used soon.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: The Old Man and the Pond
I'm alsmost certain I've seen this one before, but it's still funny... From: C.B.2 An elderly man in Kentucky had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for awhile, and look it over. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. When he made the women aware of his presence, they all swam to the deep end, furthest from the farmer. One of the women shouted to him, We're not coming out until you leave! The old man frowned. I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or to make you get out of the pond. Holding the bucket up he said, I'm here to feed the alligator.
