RE: [lace] Bowes Museum Lace
I was lucky enough to see this exhibition on a recent trip to England. It is, bar none, the finest lace exhibit that I've ever seen. It was even more meaningful because I got to go with three of my best lace friends so there was someone else along to appreciate the fine displays. Extraordinary!!! Not only the quantity of the lace, but the exceptional quality.

Re: [lace] Odd mix on Ebay
Looks like an unusual sewing kit. I suppose that it could hold the thread, needles, scissors needed for needlelace so could have been owned by a lacemaker. The miniature bobbins are cute, and don't go with it. I also think it's overpriced.

Re: [lace] Odd mix on Ebay
Yes it is an odd but cute mix. The bobbins and lace are at cross purposes hanging where they are, though LOL. You are right, the bobbins and lace don't belong together.

[lace] Odd mix on Ebay
Dear Fellow Spiders, Here's an odd mishmash of items being offered as a group on Ebay. Take a look and see what you think! I'm of the mind that the yarn "dispencer" and the miniature bobbins are two seperate items. Not sure if the lace belongs with the bobbins. I'd like the bobbins but don't want the rest. In any case it's outta my price range!

Re: [lace] Erotica
"David in Ballarat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote That is what erotica means these days. I was wondering however, whether David may have made a typo and was perhaps invited to exhibit in "Exotica Botanica" rather than "Erotica Botanica". Nope - erotica it is. Thanks for the clarification. Knowing that then I can see that the fungi choice is great. Darwin is probably one of the most broad-minded and exciting cities in the world today. So I hear and it's the only Aus State/Territory capital I've yet to get to. Sigh. I want to experience that cosmopolitan place for myself rather than just read about it. They want this exhibition to be as erotic as we can make it - no holes barred so to speak. That sounds like a really interesting challenge. I know you'll give it your best shot. Can I please see a pic of the finished product?

Re: [lace] Free crochet patterns
Jenny, you are a genius. Not only are you a computer whiz, you are crafty as all get-out...Thanks for the pin cushion patterns - they'll make wonderful goody bag items if you'll allow us to use them for the purpose of gifting, not selling. You're also an excellent bobbin lacemaker as well...

Re: [lace] Free crochet patterns
Clay Thank you for this lovely complement :) I have just added the latest pincushion instructions. He is Eddy the Echidna (a Aussie ant eater). http://www.brandis.com.au/craft/pincushions.html Eddy may be the last of the crochet pincushions for a while as the urge has worn off and my work at the Kununurra Visitors Centre is about to restart for the 2007 season :) If you or any Arachne make these pincushions could you give me feedback on the instructions? I have not had much practice at writing instructions and therefore they may be a bit .. Jennyish :) Jenny B At 08:09 PM 25/03/2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jenny, you are just amazing!!

Re: [lace] Erotica
"C Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote Taken From Wikipedia: Erotica (from the Greek language Eros - "love") — refers to works of art, including literature, photography, film, sculpture and painting, that deal substantively with erotically stimulating or arousing descriptions. Erotica is a modern word used to describe the portrayal of the human anatomy and sexuality with high-art aspirations, differentiating such work from commercial pornography. That is what erotica means these days. I was wondering however, whether David may have made a typo and was perhaps invited to exhibit in "Exotica Botanica" rather than "Erotica Botanica". To my way of thinking, the difference in the naming would/could have a bearing on how one would go about the project (or it would if I ever managed to acquire David's skills as a lace maker). Either way, that fungi could turn out to be a most brilliant choice of subject and I'd love to see the finished product. An erotica fungi could remove all tendency amongst the general public to see lace as being in any way doily fixated and old hat. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
