[lace] Fibre arts software
Found this while googling for something else. It's a list of links for computer software for all sorts of fibre arts. It's obviously quite an old page because some of the links are broken or out of date (eg Lace Designer Gold is listed, which was superceded a very long time ago by Lace 2000), but there's still quite a lot to investigate if your interests extend beyond lacemaking. http://www.fibreartsonline.com/res/software/softFAcat.htm#Costume%20&%20Fashion Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Interesting newspaper cutting
This morning I was hunting for some information for my husband (which I didn't find) but what I did find was a brilliant newspaper cutting sent to me by someone who moved from NJ about 18 months ago. I remembered it was about bobbin lace so I took it out again and read some of it. Called Surviving by a thread and the article shows Gunvor Jorgensen and mentions the International Old Lacers Inc. When I read it I didn't know about Gunvor but from the chats last year I know much more now. I am really pleased she sent it to me and will keep it safe:-) Sue T, Dorset UK - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Lace buttons
A while back there was a thread pertaining to lace buttons which contained a link to an online tutorial and a reference to 50 Heirloom Buttons to Make. I followed the link and have the book but neither has instructions for making a bird's eye button which is the type I want to duplicate. I'd appreciate any information or directions for making this button. A Google search was not productive.

[lace] A resource for children's or beginner lessons, or demonstrators
Gentle Spiders, A recent request for beginner lesson projects reminded me of my intention to post a resource I put together a while ago. I had tried bracelets, bandages, and snakes in demonstrations before, and noticed that, in the first place, relatively few people could take the time to complete one in most demonstration situations, and, second, that if one person did take the time to complete one, it tied up the pillow for a long time, making it unavailable for others. I wanted more people to have the satisfaction of taking away a completed project. I beheaded the snake, turning it into a fish. This worked spectacularly; it took most kids at the demo where I tested it between 20 and 45 minutes to complete one fish. Using a large pillow owned by Lacemakers of Puget Sound, I put together a have-a-go kit that members could check out to use at demonstrations. Part of that kit is a notebook with the pattern, suggestions, and tips and tools for demonstrators. The file for that notebook is now posted on my website, available to anyone who might find it useful: http://weft.wlonk.com --Julie E. in Seattle - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] A resource for children's or beginner lessons, or demonstrators
Thank you Julie - this *is* a useful resource for dealing with small groups of first time lacemakers. The fish is nice done with embroidery floss too (6-strand, using all 6 strands).
