Re: [lace] Other lace on YouTube - SCA Lace from Le Pompe
Dear Orla, Your lace is lovely. Please don't go back to lurking. Probably I write for all when I say that we would like to see more laces from SCA members! Newbies: The Le Pompe, 1599 --- Patterns for Venetian Bobbin Lace book may be of interest, especially if you have nothing from this period. Published by Ruth Bean (England) in 1983, ISBN 0-903585-16-2, Paperback, 128 pages. This is a reproduction of probably the earliest known set of bobbin lace patterns.The modern authors - who provided a technical section and written instructions, diagrams, prickings and photographs of finished laces, are Santina Levey and Patricia Payne. Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center --- In a message dated 1/28/07 10:23:58 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yep, it came from Le Pompe (pattern B on page 17). I actually started this piece with the intention of it being done by last Pennsic. It didn't happen and is fact still on my bolster since I took time off to make 3 shawls and 3 afghans for christmas and this lace (http://pics.livejournal.com/orlacarey/pic/0005hsbr/g31) for a wedding gift. It looks like it's about 20 pairs of bobbins and is made of Kreinik cord - which has become my favorite thing to use for metallics. The biggest pain for it is that there are sewings all over the place. Every vertical line in the footside requres sewings as does the triple loop at the top. I use Bayeux bobbins and can't imagine how anyone would do this pattern if they were using midlands. Actual pictures of the lace are here: http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999gid=3987376uid=614615. BTW, I've come to the painful conclusion that rather than keeping the 2nd copy of Le Pompe that I have for the someday really promising student, I'm going to be selling it on Ebay soon. So if you need a copy I'd keep an eye out. I have never sold anything on Ebay before but I'm hoping to have it listed in a six day auction this week.

RE: [lace] Other lace on YouTube - SCA Lace from Le Pompe
Why thank you. I try to keep up with the list every so often but you know how e-mail goes, there's always too much to read. When I finally get the Gold lace off my pillow I'm going to do an edging for a coif since I have a goal of a good Flemish outfit by Pennsic. I haven't decided which pattern to use yet (I also have Fascinating Bobbin Lace to play with), but I'll try to post it when I do. In the meantime I have two more hankies posted here http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?username=orlaith. There are a couple more that I've done but one I don't have pictures of and the other one isn't online anywhere. Yes, for those who are counting, this means that I'm working on my fifth Queen's hankie. I should probably explain the whole Queen's Hankie thing. In Atlantia (the Mid Atlantic region of the SCA for lack of a better description) every Queen is given a handmade lace hankie, which means someone in the lace guild is doing one about every six months. The current one is actually going to someone in another Kingdom who used to be in Atlantia. After it's finished I'm going to actually try to make some lace for myself. So, a question for you?

[lace] Replacement pillow blocks
Hello, everyone Does anyone know of a UK supplier who sells five-and-a-half inch polystyrene or ethafoam blocks? The original polystyrene ones on my block pillow have now worn out in the centres (I've turned them round frequently to even the wear out, and turned them over regularly, but the middles still get the most wear and now feel very spongy). I've had the pillow more than 20 years, and haven't a clue who I originally bought it from. A few years ago (probably about ten years!?) we once had a supplier come to North West Lacemakers who listed all sorts of different size replacement blocks in their catalogue, but I've long since forgotten their name too. All I can remember is that it wasn't one of our regular suppliers. Anyone seen anything similar more recently? (I didn't get to the NEC last December, so haven't got any up-to-date catalogues to guide me, and don't particularly want to wait until this December to go shopping in person before putting that particular pillow into use again).

I do not know if this is the one that was recommended to you but I really love the one written by Antonia Frasier. It is simply called Mary, Queen of Scots. I believe that I have a few extra copies around the house. If you would like a copy and I can find them let me know with your address and I will post one off to you.

[lace] Pattern Raffle
Searching through my files for the pattern I want to do next (didn't find it) I discovered two copies of the same pattern, bought on different occasions. I'm far too much of a butterfly ever to do the same pattern twice, so I think it's time for a raffle. It's a bucks point pattern, Irene Tomlinson's Hexagonal Edging no. 1, and the pack consists of the pricking (on glazed card), picture of the lace and working diagram. Anyone who thinks they'd like it, email me by midnight (GMT) on Sunday 11th February and I'll draw the winner on Monday 12th.

Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting was reviewed by the New York Times and available here. _http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/27/arts/design/27lace.html_ (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/27/arts/design/27lace.html) My own review will be appearing in the IOLI Bulletin. Also on the same page and worth looking at was _http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/27/arts/design/27knit.html_ (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/27/arts/design/27knit.html) in which an organization is referred to as the Church of Craft. While at the Public Knitting Table at Radical Lace (I felt the sudden urge to knit) some women came in who were very much into the knitting movement. They seemed to know each other from the Church of Craft, apparently a place where you can just go to do crafts. These were youngish women who tended to have very beautifully dyed hair, one of them in a multitude of colors. I think that it might we well worth seeking out this group and going to do crafts with them, thus introducing them to certain crafts that shall remain nameless but are in danger of dying out.

Another classic by Swain, which has been discussed on Arachne at length in the past, is The Flowerers - The Story of Ayrshire Needlework, published in 1955. I had to pay $300 for this rare book. I met Swain back in the 1980's (I think) when she was quite old, and believe she was decorated by the Queen for her expertise i/c/w the history of Scottish needlework. She told us the story of how she suddenly became aware she had given away her last copy of The Flowerers. To get a copy, she attended the funeral of a woman she knew had one - and asked for the book from the deceased woman's husband! The way she told it was much funnier than what I have written.

Hi Sue and all, Just coming out of longtime lurkdom re this... -Original Message- Day someone very kindly replied with a book title about Mary Queen of Scots that she recommended I read prior to the lace I didn't see the original posting, but if it was a craft-related book it is probably The Needlework of Mary Queen of Scots (ISBN 9780896762480) by Margaret Swain. Its about A$40 over here and is on my wish list, it looks like a really interesting book. If it was a general MQoS books you were talking about, then as well as the Antonia Fraser one try Margaret George's Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles (ISBN 9780330327909) - it's a fictionalized autobiography and very enjoyable.

[lace] Le Pompe patterns, part 1, long
On Jan 28, 2007, at 22:22, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Orla) wrote: Yep, it came from Le Pompe (pattern B on page 17). That's Le Pompe Book I, BTW, for those who have the Levey/Payne version of Le Pompe that Jeri wrote about. While Levey/Payne reproduced all the woodcuts from book I and only selected pages from Book II, there's page 17 reproduced from both books, and both have more than one pattern on that page. It looks like it's about 20 pairs of bobbins and is made of Kreinik cord - which has become my favorite thing to use for metallics. The biggest pain for it is that there are sewings all over the place. Every vertical line in the footside requres sewings as does the triple loop at the top. I use Bayeux bobbins and can't imagine how anyone would do this pattern if they were using midlands. Midlands wouldn't have been in period anyway; they're post-1600. But I'm troubled by your statement that there are sewings all over the place. There *shouldn't be any* -- this is a plaited lace, not a tape one. I'm not a member of SCA myself, so I don't know how insistent the Society is on the accuracy and how much leeway is permitted, but plaited laces made before 1600 had few -- *if any* -- sewings; all the joins were achieved by skillful manipulation of the bobbins themselves. I know there are no instructions for that pattern in the book and, anyway, you make your lace the old-fashioned way--interpreting *a pricking* the best you can (that info came in from private e-mail exchange, in case anyone's wondering). But most of those early lacemakers had formal training (the author of the Neuw Modelbuch speaks of having students, for example, though the unknown author of Le Pompe dedicates his work to virtuous ladies, thus suggesting dilletantes), so their guesses weren't likely to be wild; they were informed. And there was a certain canon of techniques on which the lacemakers based their interpretations. Levey/Payne interpretation of Le Pompe patterns is wonderful, because it began to unlock some of the mysteries of the earliest laces for us. But their interpretation, by necessity, based their conclusions on a different (more modern) set of techniques -- the ones *they* were familiar with. Burkhard's interpretation of the Neuw Modelbuch, though published only 3yrs later, seems to guess at the 500yr-old realities much better. And the work continues, in several countries. In US, an Arachnean, Devon Thein, volunteers for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Which not only has a very large collection of lace, but also one of those techno-wonders -- the awesome microscope. One can view laces, stitch-by-stitch, and see how they're constructed, without having to take them apart. And one can capture each bit in a photo, for further study and possible reproduction. Which is more likely to be really accurate, since it draws on more than just the study of the original woodcuts; it considers actual laces made in the same period (if not, necessarily, on the same patterns), gaining insight into the techniques used at the time. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Le Pompe patterns, shorter
To go back to Orla's original posting: It looks like it's about 20 pairs of bobbins and is made of Kreinik cord - which has become my favorite thing to use for metallics. The biggest pain for it is that there are sewings all over the place. Every vertical line in the footside requres sewings as does the triple loop at the top. I was *so* disturbed by Orla's claim of the multitude of sewings, that I fired up my pillow today and started working on that pattern (Le Pompe, Book one, p.17, B) :) About 20 pairs is correct; by my reckoning, you need either 18 or 21 (I'm using the 21 version). I didn't make a separate pricking; I'm using the woodcut as is, same as Orla. And I'm using Kreinik cord (though in copper; didn't have any gold on hand) -- again, same as Orla. Which meant that, in order to fit the thread (and keep the lace looking as robust as it had been in 15hundreds), I had to photocopy the woodcut in the Levey/Payne Le Pompe at 65%. My early experience -- between a quarter and a third of the first repeat -- confirms my preconceived theory: there are no sewings at all in that pattern. Personally, I hate metallic thread-- it combines all the faults of natural fiber and wire, without having any overwhelming compensation for the faults :) The next sample will be both larger and made in linen. I doubt a wire sample will follow -- this is not my favourite Le Pompe pattern :) So far, all the effort has been directed at scratching my personal curiosity itch -- can I make this without any sewings at all, the way I *think* it must have been made in 1550?But, a BL Editor for the IOLI Bulletin cannot afford too many moments of *idle* curiosity; I'd like to publish the pattern (pricking, diagrams) in the Bulletin eventually. And, maybe, some other 16th c repros as well. So, my question is this: How much interest is there, *among the IOLI members*, in reproductions of old plaited laces (in thread or in wire or both)? I know SCA-affiliated lacemakers might be interested, because, with their cut-off date being 1600, their sources of patterns, especially BL ones, are severely limited (2 published books as far as I know, and there are many patterns in both which had not yet been re-done for modern consumption). But, how big is the cross-over between straight lacemakers and SCA ones? Are there any SCA lacemakers who also belong to IOLI? Would they be interested in having more patterns which are in period both visually *and* technically?

Re: [lace] Le Pompe patterns, shorter
This subject is dragging me out of lurk mode ;-) I have been working almost exclusively with pre-1600 laces, and I agree with Tamara that there are no or very few sewings. With the heavier threads used for many of those laces, sewings would just be too bulky. I have worked some of the Le Pompe patterns and I would never work from the woodcut. I don't think the pricking would be accurate or even. Just the nature of woodcuts. I have been experimenting with various metallic threads trying to duplicate the correct texture of the metallic laces. Most modern metallic threads just don't work. Most modern metallic threads have no metal in them, and are too fine in diameter. They are just not the correct weight. It also doesn't work to double up on the thread - still doesn't look right and is a real pain to work. The heavier metallic threads have a tendency to fracture, producing a faceted effect when pulled up. Then there is the shredding :-P I currently have obtained some gold and silver jap that I am going to play with this weekend. There are 2 patterns I have drafted from some lace on an extant dress featured in Janet Arnold's Pattern's of Fashion, book one. I have not yet found a suitable metallic to use for reproduction. Next week I am going to place an order for Moravia 40/2, another lacemaker on Live Journal is having some good results with it and I am anxious to play with it myself. BTW, Tamara, I have drafted two prickings from lace in paintings and a few more from extant pieces - interested? Back to lurking!
