I'd assumed people were just hitting "Reply All" when responding to previous messages It's a bit more complicated than that, but not much. First, about a day and a half before the meeting, I asked who wanted to participate and I made a 'Group' in my email programme's address book. Then shortly before the get-together started, I sent an email to the group, opening the session. People kept asking to join in after the session started, so I kept adding them to the group and sending out new emails so the participants would have the new names. That's basically it. I think it helped that 1 - I have high speed hook-up 2 - I set my programme to check for messages every minute and 3 - I moved my lace making table next to my computer. When people dropped out as time went on, I left them in the group. Some of them asked to keep getting the messages and I didn't want to spend the time deleting them and sending out new lists.

After signing in with the host, first, individually - who then combines all into one e-mail message and sends out a greeting. We can then hit 'reply-all. It got quite exciting when there were 18 of us. As well as some conversations to the group, there were some chatting back and forth. It was interesting keeping up with the replies, from my p.o.v. I purposefully went off-line from time to time just to accomplish something on the pillow LOL. -- bye for now Bev with a thunderstorm right over the house near Sooke BC (on stormy Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada)(eek! going to hide under the covers - g'night) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [lace] Lace in New York Times and in dinnerware
I read only the front-page news and the business section; DH reads the whole paper... When he comes accross something "lacy", he leaves the relevant page, face up, at my place on the kitchen table to find whenever convenient. In today's (Thursday, January 26), House & Home section (D), in the upper right corner of "Currents" by Marianne Rorhrlich, there's a snippet, titled "Dinnerware": "Adding Lace to the Table (But Not With a Cloth) Lace may seem like an unexpected motif for ceramicplates, but now that designers are recycling formerly fusty flourishes into fresh looks, it makes perfect sense. And Parisienne chargers, handmade in France with textured white-on-charcoal lace patterns, are certainly one way to fancy up a classic white plate. The chargers, 13 inches in diameter, come in three patterns -- raisins (above), Mantille and Seville -- and like most lace must be washed by hand; $98 each at anthropologie.com" "Formerly Fusty Flourishes" As opposed to "Fresh looks" The lady is, obviously, indulging in a bout of alliterative fancy but, still... Even as a card-carrying member of International OLD Lacers I'm mortally oFFended :) I have no idea as to what a "charger" might be (outside a medieval battlefield) but assume it's an "underplate"; the "thingie" -- solid gold in the case of some royals -- which was put under the fancy china to protect the (equally fancy) tablecloth from spills and which remained in place throughout the dinner, even as the top plates were changed. The (pictured) "Raisins" seems to be a fragment of a larger piece, which looks to be tatted (little circles ad infinitum). I have been unable to find the snippet on line via any search I could think of; all searches result in the same response: "no results in paid death notices" (hell? A bit premature? Amusing, all the same ) A search for the website produced: http://www.anthropologie.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1172&itemType=CATEGORY #3 from the left, listed as "Seville", is the one pictured in NYTimes as "Raisins"; *someone* has their wires crossed :) The idea of incorporating an imprint of lace (or anything else) in a clay/porcelain object is nothing new; even in our little town one can buy plates and bowls sporting such imprints. I haven't checked the price recently, but it used to be a lot cheaper than nearly a 100 bucks per, not surprisingly; the same piece of lace can be reused many times... By the same token, the claim of each piece being "one-of-a-kind" is a Tiny-Tad _stretched_ (pun intended) ; the differences come from different positioning, not different lace. As far as I'm concerned, the two glasses I got from one of the German suppliers (with "tape" lace "painted" on top (can't remember who it was I got them from) were a much better deal, at something like $6 per glass (including shipping, I think). And to come back to the idea of using lace imprinted in ceramic dinnerware... I just received (serendipity ) a message, from a lacemaker, on the very same subject, and am cc-ing my "article" to her, in case she's missed it on the list... :) Cherry, please send your -- very interesting -- input to the list. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) === Dear Spiders, I got a delayed look at this item because my email software put it in the Out of the Office file. Anyway, from where I sit, the lace is, how to put it gently, probably all Schiffli. It looks to be old and the last one looks like Schiffli in imitation of Irish Crochet. The first one with a zillion little circles is definitely Schiffli, not tatting -- I can't see any stitches in it at all. The second seems to be equally old, with the very early 20th century grape motif. I was quite deflated to see that it isn't even handmade lace that costs almost $100 a plate. They do get fanciful with those names, don't they? Raisin is Ok for the grape motif, but where did they get the other names? Sigh, not only somewhat un-elevated lace, but insults besides.

I got my Lace magazine today. I haven't seen anything on the lace digest yet. I did a quick glance through it, then settled down to the book reviews. One is by Steph Peters on a tatting book I had not heard of, another is a review of Brenda Paternosters latest issue of the Threads book which I have and is getting well used. I did notice a pattern by Jane Partrdige and an article by Jean Leader and Ilske Thomsen which is my next read. I am sure there may be other Arachne listed in this issue as there are a number of the lacemaker census labels in it including one with a spider by Cathy Bell. Maybe I will spend the evening reading about lace instead of listening to the State of the Union address by George. Can't stand the many minutes lost to the standing ovations. Like most programs, if you cut out the adverts, they only last 40 minutes instead of an hour. Maybe they should ask the audience to hold their applause until the end and then the whole program would be a lot shorter.

I was disappointed to read about the last lace in chat after it had been going on for quite a while. Reason - I get the digested version of lace chat and if there has not been much chatting going on, it can take a few days before we get the digest. Maybe an announcement could be made a week before the event, along with the hosts email address, so we can put it on our calendars.

[lace] bobbins for wire lace
A very inexpensive bobbin for wire lace is to take either regular doweling or the wooden arrow shafts, cut bobbin lengths, use the grinder to grind in the area for the wire. Screw the very tiny cup hook type screw either at the top or at the side at the top, whichever you happen to like best, and then drill a very tiny hole through the bobbin right under the part for the wire. Very inexpensive, and most of the time you can find these things in your husband's collection of stuff. Annelore Stone in the shadow of Mt.

Re: [lace] lace-in/on-line meetings
Hello Diane and everyone A lace on-line meeting could be as formal as exactly once a month, or it could be any time someone feels moved to host, such as that they have two or three hours where they are making lace anyway. simply invite whosoever is on-line at the time - or give a bit of notice as Margot and I did. I would be reluctant to give too much notice just because things can happen so quickly. Relatives, appointments, and, perish the thought, computer crashes. (or as happened to some of us, electrical outages). You don't need to be at the computer the whole time, although it is addicting because you want to see all the messages as they come in ;) I would go off-line for 15 minutes and sit at the pillow which is not near the computer. Then come back and check the messages. and answer them. Then more would come in. I'd answer those. And use up a half hour LOL. It was a most stimulating experience for lacing. If enough people host from time to time, any time zone, then if a person has a sleepless night, there will be a lace meeting to drop in on ;) On 1/31/06, Diane Z <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I so wish I could have participated -- even through my computer area is not > a good one to make lace.

Just buy any basic, cheap bobbins, drill them slightly to get a start, and then screw in the tiny hooks that are sometimes used for putting in the back of pictures for hanging. They are really cheap, too - I think mine cost me about 3p (GB) each, and they work beautifully. If you cannot get hooks small enough, sometimes you can get loops or rings attached to a screw thread that you can just open slightly with a pair of pliers. Hope this helps!

RE: [lace] Lace-in relay
Continuous round the world lace making - Sounds worth a try! I enjoyed the lace-in on Sunday and if it was to continue would think that fixing the event to a particular Day of the week/week of the month and doing it on a monthly basis would work best. e.g 4th Sunday of every month - it would then be easy to remember when it was happening. After all, you don't have to take part every time. Volunteers for being 'host' could offer themselves as and when. Just my thoughts!

[lace] wood bobbins to apply eye bolt to
Now that Lenka's husband is no longer selling the bobbins that worked so well with wire, I am looking for an alternative. He sold a light colored bobbin with a hole drilled through the bottom of the shaft and an eye-bolt screwed into the side of the top of the shaft. (Not the top of the bobbin.) . I don't know whether he actually turned the bobbin or not. It doesn't seem to resemble the normal range of bobbins that I encounter, and its shape is really great for wire, being only 3 inches with a slight bulge at the end and a relatively thick shaft. But I am thinking that a normal bobbin, preferably one that could be purchased cheaply, could be drilled and fitted out with an eye screw by my husband. Does anyone have any suggestions about what basic bobbin and what wood would work the best for this purpose?

Re: [lace] lace-in
I so wish I could have participated -- even through my computer area is not a good one to make lace. If others are willing, I would like once a month. Many times, there are previous committments, as last Sunday was for me. Just my vote.

Actually most of the North Americans that participated live about as far away from me as you do, Sheila. I was looking at a time zone map and I think the only way to include the Australians who wanted to participate, would be to have a 'rolling meeting', with multiple hosts. Start in continental Europe, to be joined by the UK an hour later, then the east coast of North America and slowly moving across the continent with the Europeans dropping out at some point. Then the west coast taking over and maybe by then some Australians would be able to join in, and eventually it would be all Australians. It might be difficult to organize the multiple hosts, but I'm sure it could be done.

Sheila's post gave me the idea that perhaps sometime we coild have a lace-in relay - perhaps on the UK National Lacemaking Day in September. With several organisers around the world we could keep it going for the full 24 hours until it "comes back home". Six people doing four hour stints, or eight at three hours. But do we have a wide enough spread of people around the time-zones to make it work? Just an idle fancy that it would be weird to know that for a full 24 hours, someone somewhere in the world is making lace. That is probably often the case anyway, but we don't know about it, so it doesn't count.

What an interesting afternoon, I hope it didn't stop you- Margot- making lace. It was nice to hear from people who don't usually take part in the discussions online, maybe because it was on the Atlantic rim. Both Margot and Bev have to be congratulated for the idea I think that a month would be too restricting, better a two month gap, but Sunday is obviously the day.If it is to continue then I would be willing to be a host - I'll have to check if it could be a Sawbo' meeting with the other members. Being just to the east of GMT through Greenwich, lacemakers from Europe, Near East, Africa and around the Atlantic rim would be able to take part as well as N.America. Then on another occasion, someone around the Great Lakes would also have a large catchment area; on the west coast of N.America you might get lacers from around the Pacific and then back again via Oz. What was also so interesting was the insight into people's lives and where they live - weather etc. How do others feel about this?

RE: [lace] Oya eureka!
A few years ago DH attended a conference in Turkey and I asked him to bring me some oya/bebilla as a gift. He didn't find any in the souvenir stores but eventually found a craft store and purchased a small polyester square edged with flat flowers pivoted on pyramid stems - the flowers feel soft but stiffened slightly, possibly cotton or polyester. The English version of a four language description in the box begins: "Iğne oyasi, a kind of exquisite needle-work, which has been created in different parts of Anatolina since the 17th century, comprises the weaving of silken thread with a needle". Pleased with his find he dug deep in a box of oddments and found a string of oya; separate trumpet flowers and leaves about an inch apart on a thick cord, presumably to be cut apart and sewn round the edge of a cloth. These are very stiff and 'plastic -cy' but without sacrificing one I can't tell if they are nylon or not. Flushed with his success my 'capital D' DH decided to make his present even better by buying the equipment to make it - I am a bobbin lacemaker and equipment is a big deal :). I would have loved to see the conversation that ensued between a man who spoke no Turkish and two women who spoke no English, but eventually one of them brought out a sewing needle!
