[lace] New E-mail address - and edition 3

[Brenda Paternoster]

Due to Argonet's decision to wind down their ISP service, I have, as of 
yesterday, a new email address
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  although the old argonet address will 
automatically forward for a week or so.

However, there's a bit of a glitch in the system and I still have to 
send outgoing mail via the argonet server, so it may look as though 
mail from me has come via argonet rather than orpheus-appleshack!

My website will remain at it's current domain for a while and once it's 
been migrated to the orpheus server that too will re-direct, probably 
only the home page but I think I can write (copy & paste) the necessary 
html to redirect all the main pages.  I'll post the new URL once it's 
up and running.

I've finally finished Edition3 of Threads for Lace - took the CD to the 
printer today and I'm awaiting a phone call to confirm the costs before 
giving him the go ahead  as it's a bit more than the original quote :-( 
 I knew from the size of Addendum2 that it would be over 1000 threads 
but it's actually 1,150 and runs to 96 pages.

[lace] Luda in Kiev

[Noelene Lafferty]

Thank you for your introduction, Luda.   We can hardly say welcome, you
have been with us over four years!

It is so interesting to hear about lacemakers in other countries.  Here in
Australia we have some lacemakers, and we managed to keep in touch
through our Australian Lace Guild magazine, and a lot of us via the
internet.

And thank you for your offer of a free Russian lace pattern
Perhaps someone with a personal web site can include it on their site.
I would be quite happy to - are you able to email me files in .jpg format?

Re: [lace] Suitcases and travel

[Sue Babbs]

Another solution to this (where you are allowed to fly with more than one 
bag) is to put an empty  folding bag into the bag/ case you take out with 
you and fill it up for your return journey. I regularly take a spare bag 
with me when I know I will be shopping at the destination.

Re: [lace] Suitcases and travel

Dear Lace-Friends:
 
This letter made me think back to my first trip to England with Laurie  
Hughes and other NELG members and gave me a major chuckle.  Half-way  through 
our 
second week, we MAILED our clothes back to the US.  We had our  suitcases full 
of books, supplies, etc.  We spent approximately 65 pounds  sterling -- the 
box was pretty big -- to mail it home.  We understood our  priorities!

[lace] Thread Gauge

[delia.palin]

I got a thread gauge very similar to the one you mention from Makit Lace in 
England.  Their phone no is 01480 810810, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]  I  don't 
thjink they have a website.  The gauge comes with a book comparing different 
threads.  I find it invaluable, and use it all the time.

[lace] That Lace Fence

[Dmt11home]

the wonder 
isn't that the fence is so beautiful (which I don't think it  is), but 
merely the fact that it exists at all. To my mind the object  (fence) 
and the technique (lace) coexist uneasily and demonstrate their  
unsuitability to each other. (I know, I know, there will be plenty of  
Arachnes who disagree with me)  --  Aurelia


Dear Aurelia,
You are correct that executed in fiber the fence would barely merit a  second 
glance. I guess it goes to the central paradox that when you do a simple  
fiber technique in a rigid medium it is hailed as art and genius. When you do 
an  
incredibly complex and beautiful technique in fiber someone says, "I can buy  
that for a dollar a yard at the Rag Shop." Consciousness raising is in  order!
 
Perhaps we need to take the design world forward in easy steps. After they  
go ga-ga over a chain link fence in bobbin technique we say, "now look what  
happens when you take the chain link technique and perform it with a lovely  
colored silk..."

[lace] That lace fence!

[Aurelia Loveman]

Well, now I've seen it, I think  the whole thing rather resembles the 
wellknown situation with Dr. Johnson's talking dog; i.e., the wonder 
isn't that the fence is so beautiful (which I don't think it is), but 
merely the fact that it exists at all. To my mind the object (fence) 
and the technique (lace) coexist uneasily and demonstrate their 
unsuitability to each other. (I know, I know, there will be plenty of 
Arachnes who disagree with me)  --  Aurelia

[lace] Fence/Joep and Jeroen

[Dmt11home]

Dear Jean,
Thank you for the web site. Yes, undoubtedly you are right that Joep and  
Jeroen are different designers. It does appear it was Joep who did the fence.  
This seems consistent right up until the moment when the fence appeared at the  
Milan show, and then, both the Times and Icon Magazine are attributing it to  
Jeroen or to all three members of the group De Makers Van which includes 
Jeroen,  Joep and Judith DeGraauw.
 
Icon magazine attributes it to all three artists calling it one of the  
outstanding moments of the fair. It is number 10 of their top ten items at this 
 
site where a picture of it appears.

Re: [lace] Bobbin lace fence in NY Times/Joep/Jeroen

[Diane Z]

I wanted to save a copy of the fence from New York Times May 8 picture.  I 
didn't do it yesterday and today, I can't get access to the slide show.

Did anyone copy the picture and, maybe, forward a copy to me?
I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: [lace] Bobbin lace fence in NY Times/Joep/Jeroen

[Jean Leader]

On the NKO page with the fence

I clicked on Studio DEMAKERSVAN and got
http://www.demakersvan.com/
From this it appears that the fence is by Joep Verhoeven and that 
Jeroen Verhoeven is a different designer.
