[lace] Lace earrings
hello all There was an article in Needlecraft magazine in the '90's showing how to make a fan edging, pull the leading edge thread and attach it to an earring. I have totally mislaid this magazine. Where could I purchase this or similar pattern??? I'd like to make 2 as presents. I've got Cook Stott books but can't work out how to do it. Thank you all the helpful info you all send in. Take care - Alice Wilmshurst (England) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Local exhibition
Dear Spiders, Last week-end we opened at our local small museum an exhibition of local artists. For a town of 24.000 having 44 artist show their work is quite remarkable. The subject given by the curators was The desert. To tell the truth most of us hated this theme as we are getting a bit tired of the desert, but for somebody coming from the center of the country it sounds very exotic. When I presented my idea , it was rejected, it was thought to be too crafty. But the local lady who was responsible for the organisation, didn't give in and in the end my work was accepted. I didn't have much time for an elaborate lace piece about the desert. I was just about to throw out some used CDs when I came up with an idea. (thanks to CD 2000). I took 7 CDs. On each one of them I glued a photo taken from my back garden showing the desert.l Barren hills, camels, rocks etc. For each of these CDs I made a lace animal living in the desert. I'm not big in drawing but with books and pictures and lace 2000 I managed to get an eagle, a camel, an oryx and a mouse. I then added a spider and its web and two scorpions fighting. It was all done in tape lace. no more than 8 bobbins. The result was quite impressive, and the feedback I get is very good. People just stand and admire it since it is so different from the paintings and the big photos which others submitted. So craft or art the people don't really care about the definition as long as they like it and it interests them. The exhibition will be open till December which will give a lot of people the opportunity to see it and since we are heading towards the High Holidays we hope that a lot of visitors to our town will also visit the museum. To all of you who celebrate New Year this week end a Happy New Year.

Re: [lace] Local exhibition
Congratulations, Miriam, on what sounds like a wonderful project!! Your creativity in adapting to the theme to lace - and your ingenuity at salvaging junk to make an artistic statement with lace (obviously NOT junk!), are definitely indications to me that you aren't just a crafter!!

Re: [lace] Local exhibition
Miriam, I do hope you will post photos of your work somewhere for all of us to enjoy. Sounds very creative and a wonderful use of an old handcraft married with a new medium.

Re: [lace] Local exhibition
Congrats Miriam on your creativity. This is an email I'm going to save because I never think of doing my local area in tape lace, only projects which are too big and above my expertise. Maybe I'll be able to also do something in tape lace. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Do you have pictures that we can see? I would really like that Diane Zierold Lubec, Maine - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] Lace earrings
Could you use any simple edging, perhaps, with 2 passives at the footside, and pull them to gather? I should think some of little edge patterns by Springett would do. Also, there was a pattern by Gil Dye published in 'Lace' IIRC, and others like it here and there, that was a half-stitch edge, rolled to make into a rose On 9/18/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There was an article in Needlecraft magazine in the '90's showing how to make a fan edging, pull the leading edge thread and attach it to an earring.

[lace] Luton
Re Doreen Fudge. Many Many, Many years ago, when we started lacemaking here in Oz, -( around 1978 it would be,) I was told about Luton Museum and Mrs Fudge, so wrote, and asked if there were any patterns available to us. I received a Large package of photocopies of mainly Beds lace, and a lovely letter from her to go with it. I still have the photocopies - well, most of them - I think a few went missing when I loaned them to someone! So I, too, have Very kind thoughts of her, although I never got to meet her.

[lace-chat] AUS Humour
It was April and the Aboriginals in a remote part of northern Australia asked their new elder if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an elder in a modern community he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the tribe should collect firewood to be prepared. But being a practical leader, after several days he had an idea. He walked out to the telephone booth on the highway, called the Bureau of Meteorology and asked, Is the coming winter in this area going to be cold? The meteorologist responded, It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold. So the elder went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared. A week later he called the Bureau of Meteorology again. Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter? The meteorologist again replied, Yes, it's going to be a very cold winter. The elder again went back to his community and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find. Two weeks later the elder called the Bureau again. Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold? he asked. Absolutely, the man replied. It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters ever. How can you be so sure? the elder asked. The weatherman replied, There are reports that the Aboriginals are collecting firewood like crazy, and that's always a sure sign.
