Re: [lace] Exciting News - Exhibition.
Congratulations, David! Am looking forward to seeing the real thing (ie the lace version) For those of you who are interested, there is in Australia a fungus called Dictyophora indusiata or Maiden Veil fungus. I shall be making this in Point Ground lace and placing it appropriately on a pastel drawing of a male nude body. "Appropriately" because... It's also called "Netted Stinkhorn"?

I know it wasn't specifically asked but it seems to work well with Safari also :-) A lot of websites that pass the Firefox and IE test fail the Safari one (which is why I have Firefox as a backup browser on my iMac). Oh, and can I also mention that the website looks wonderful?!

Dear Lacemakers, Lacefairy has asked me (Jeri) to send the request below to Arachne, because she is unsubscribed at the moment. I (Jeri) suggest the first few Arachne members who participate send a copy to lace@arachne.com, so there will not be a surplus of notes to Lori once the testing portion is completed by a couple of people! By all means, everyone - give Lori your feedback, if you like what she has done.She has worked many many hours through the years to make the Lacefairy site a useful research/learning tool.

[lace] Re Laminating
Hello Carol Thanks for reminding me I'd forgotten the sleeves with a coloured back, I think I might have some somewhere. To be honest its so long since I completed a piece of lace (even a bookmark) I've totally lost touch ;o( No bent pins but a very sore pin finger!!

Re: [lace] Laminating lace
Hi Diana et al, I wouldn't advise laminating, although I have been known to do it on very rare occasions.That's really because if it isn't done really well, there can be little air bubbles between the lace and the laminating, which doesn't look good. I have a huge supply of the plastic bookmark holders which I now use - I buy the clear plastic on both sides ones, but also lay in supplies of the ones with coloured backs - they are especially good, as the lace is always seen from the right side in those. They also have the advantage of being relatively cheap, and one can, if one wishes, change the bookmark inside. Take care, and may your pins never bend.

Re: [lace] Re laminating - fine Bucks
Hi again Diana and everyone More free advice! On 3/23/07, Diana Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thank you to the people who responded to my enquiry regarding laminating. As the lace is fine Bucks I think it would be better enclosed in some way, If it is fine Bucks, try the laminating first on a sample that doesn't matter, as a test - for the good lace, it would be a shame to ruin the appearance with air bubbles, or once you've reached the point of no return, find that the lace isn't the correctly placed, . Although the lace within the plastic sleeves does slip around, if the sleeve is the narrowest available for the width of the lace, it shouldn't move too much. Even if so, it is still the real lace and not confined forever. Another idea I had, if all you have is a wide sleeve, lightly stitch the lace to a fabric background cut narrower than the width of the sleeve, but wide enough that it stays put. Your bookmark will have a right and wrong side. Or, dispense with the plastic, and stitch the bookmark to a length of ribbon. -- Bev in Sooke BC (on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Re laminating
Thank you to the people who responded to my enquiry regarding laminating. As the lace is fine Bucks I think it would be better enclosed in some way, having used sleeves in the past but found that the lace tends to move about I wondered if laminating would hold it firm. As yet I am undecided - ho hum!! Norah is a very interesting lady, having written and published story books and poetry. Every year she would design and paint her own Christmas card and write an appropriate verse, even now she uses a card supplier and has her verse added. At least one of her ancestors was a lacemaker and she inherited a few bobbins and pieces of lace which are now in the collection of a small local museum. As a child I was taught by both her and her husband who died a number of years ago.
