Since you've been to Buckingham Palace exhibitions before, I wonder if you might know whether there will be (or likely will be) any publication/brochure about the exhibit that might be available for purchase? I would sure like to see some more photos or any further details that might be available. Thanks again for bringing this to the List's attention!

[lace] fun at home / current projects
My current project is teaching myself programming with Java. One of the java programming object is a canvas. It appeared that java canvas is textile too! So I'm learning more than programming. The lacy part is I'm trying to write a polar grid generator (for round edges) that keeps the angle between the pins constant. So far I've proven my theory on http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lace/grid-EN.html to be OK. Don't hold your breath. While on holloday, I did the headband of Tamara's Durga Ma http://www.t-n-lace.net/00-03/00-03.html http://community.webshots.com/photo/92372935/183705550hVxKQV or http://tinyurl.com/8cmyn After carfully miscalculating a third time, I decided to cheat.

[lace] 2nd attempt
This is my second piece of bobbin lace. It did not come out as it was supposed to because I added an extra cross by mistake to every stitch. Well, at least I was consistant so I finished it anyway and will try it again to correctly do the half stitch. I was please it at least looked better than my mangled fish net (1st try). I think it will be a long time before I am able to creat something delicate and pretty. But, I am persistant and will keep at it. Andy in Texas Andy Blodgett Life is short. Eat dessert first.

I've often found that *consistency* in reproducing a mistake produces a new technique to squirrel away for the future :) And, as for halfstitch... When I first started learning lacemaking (I'm self-taught, mostly, from books), I couldn't cope with halfstitch at all; it was way too promiscuous, changing mates every time you made a move; I couldn't keep track of that... :) So I made it behave at least half of the time: I added an extra twist to every pair I'd worked through (not the one containign the worker; I held onto the worker like grim death g) so that, if I managed to get through - uscathed - to the other end of the row, on return, all the passives reconnected... I don't do it any more, and have learnt to love halfstitch. But... I still use the technique, once in a while, when I want to maintain a colour - different from the passives - of the worker, and have a pair of them. I add an extra twist to the *first* pair of passives worked through (and to that one only), which puts the worker's mate in the right place for a reunion. Keep at it, and keep track of your failures - you never know when they might come in handy *on purpose* [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/pjpeg which had a name of 2nd bobbin lace.jpg] Our list doesn't allow photos - they're stripped off automatically.

[lace-chat] Wages in China
Hi all -- Just came across this, in passing American companies are drawn to cities like Chongqing because they are cheap; the average annual wage here is $1,500, about half of what it is in Shanghai. Merchandisers see markets for all kinds of products. In Chongqing, for example, car ownership is just 1.3 per 100 people, a fifth of the rate in Beijing. from: http://www.careerjournal.com/myc/workabroad/20050803-areddy.html?cjcontent=mail * * * Sounds like there could be emerging markets there, all right, if only there were adequate wages to pay for the merchandise Ricki T Utah USA To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace-chat] Sad Seagull Story
i don't think you would have to train the seagulls. if they saw thousands of little bugs flying in the air, it wight be natural to attack them. lol! the animal cruelty society might have a problem with the film maker breeding 10,000 crickets just to have them slaughtered by the seagulls. but you are right about the movie for utah. i think it would be a nice tribute. you should write one of those local educational channels to see if they might make one. they make better programming than the big network channels. some states do recreations of the civil war, but a big battle like that even if it were fought by animals should have some part in historicallly based movies. i barely remember wathing a story like that on little house on the prairie where the oldest blind daughter left her baby outside and couldn't get to it through all the bugs flying around. i never saw the end of that episode as many times as i watched reruns. for some reason i never caught it. you sound like a movie buff! i like movies too, but i would never even associate myself with the idea of being a film maker. i would make boring movies on how to spin (because i still am trying to learn how) and we would all have crochet or knit sessions! lol! no one would pay to see them. i would have the world biggest quilting and embroidery session and maybe get my name in the guinness book of world records. my favorite movie is still elizabeth with cate blanchet, but legend of sleepy hollow or the caribean pirates with johny depp are excelent and close runners. i think johny depp is one of the most talented people. have you ever watched the ninth gate? he was good in that too. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 8/3/2005 11:33:40 PM Mountain Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: do you remember the old black and white attack of the killer tomatoes where the people run though the town running away from them like people run in the godizilla movies? i have not seen the more current one where they give them mouths and teeth. i can't see anyone taking that movie seriously. at least on the first edition they could imitate that godzilla panick where everyone is running for their lives screaming at the top of their lungs. if you gave them mouths and teeth, it probably just takes away the credibility, not that there was any in the first place.

[lace-chat] IOLI update
Hi All, Convention is coming to a close tomorrow - boohoo :-( I have had so much fun in my sleep deprived, lace to the max state. Class finishes tomorrow afternoon, and then it's the banquet and announcing of the Lace Contest winners. There were 25 entries in the contest, so the Judges had a hard (and long) time judging and all of us have had a hard time deciding what to vote for. All the contest pieces were wonderful. The Lace Museum gals had a fabulous display of gorgeous black lace, with a stunning black chantilly shawl. They even had a nice little display of 3 lengths of machine chantilly and 1 handmade, and people were encouraged to guess which was the handmade. The Oregon girls under Alice Howell expert organization had mountains of wonderful (pun intended), and I heard so many oohs and aahs over their work. The Group from Moss Mansion in MT had their replica drapes (featured in Piecework Mag) on display, and they've done a fabulous job. This was my first ever Convention, and even though I'm ready to have a big bawl with relief and sorrow that it's over, I had the best time - and saw huge smiles every where. And in case you're wondering, Liz Ligeti (my dear Mother - and I swear I should've had Vasna put on my nametag Liz's Daughter 'coz that's how everyone connected me :-) ) has had the absolute best time of her life. I think the classes she taught went well, but she hasn't said much to me, since I haven't seen a huge amount of her this week - just bits and pieces here and there in the evenings and at a couple of the lunches. My Dad came along too, and the RMLG put him to work, and he enjoyed being a 'social butterfly' and meeting tons of fabulous Lacemakers and their SO's. Well, I'm off to bed to get some quality shut eye so that I can enjoy the last day of Devon's fabulous class and the Banquet in the evening.
