[lace] Re: Miss Channers Mat...
Dear Clay - who's waiting for the postman I've just seen the latest update from Julian, and your mat is growing by leaps and bounds!!! My dear man - how DO you do it??? Specifically, how can you work so many hours at a time and not have your back just scream and seize with pain?? I count myself lucky that in all my years of nursing I never once felt a twinge in my back. HOWEVER, only 2 weeks ago I did pull something in the sacral region but it's slowly improving. I can at least take my shoes off now. When it comes to lace making I would no doubt be rapped over the knuckles by most teachers. For I tend to sit very low down (on my couch) and lean forward over the lace desk. Somehow or other there;s no trouble with spinal aches. I did find that when I sit at a normal height my back got tired. Of course I have a very bright halogen lamp to help - not to mention the magnifiers :) David - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Hi Everyone Thank-you all for your praise. The patterns are my own design. They were sold within Poole Bobbin Lace Circle with the profits going to our nominated charity for this year. I made a decision not to make up any further pattern packs as I thought that everyone who wanted one had had the opportunity to buy one, however they had only been offered to those who came to our meetings.

[lace] Excellent book on ebay
Vis a vis Clay's message about Antiche Trine Italiane. While this is a great book, allow me to point out that the IOLI is also selling the book in a rather large advertisement on p. 32 of the most recent Bulletin. In the case of the IOLI, the book is the English language version, which is added value in my opinion, if you don't speak Italian. Also, if the Italian version follows the same format as the English one, put out in 1913, then it is a two volume set. It is unclear to me whether the book selling on ebay is just one of a two volume set, or both together. If it is only one of the two volumes and the reserve price is $500, it would seem to me that the price is comparable to the two volume set offered by the IOLI for $1000.

[lace] Birthdays, pins, arthritis wow!
Dear Friends I know I joined the list in 2000. I found out about it from Jacqui Southworth who taught me bobbin lace through her brilliant beginners book. I know I've met 4 of you in person (please accept my apologies to those I've met, but haven't remembered as fellow arachnids!) but there are many others of you (firstly Tamara, who responded so well to my first ever question about the glove hankie) who I talk of as friends without having met you. I feel a little guilty because I've mostly lurked except when I have a question. The answers have always come - thank you to all of you. On pins. Except when making Honiton (whose pins seem to have bigger heads) I use Thimble Its to protect my fingers. Would these help Jacquie's friend with eczema - perhaps to give extra padding under the gloves she has to wear? On arthritis. Jean, thank you for your cheerful posting. I so agree it's about making the lace that's fun. I have a scrapbook with loads of big pieces that aren't finished because I didn't want to (the Bridget Cook Buck's point fan pattern that was hard to decipher springs to mind - there were two fellow arachnes making the fan at the same time who both stopped too!). If I make a mistake in anything I think * can it work without retro-ing; * if it can, does it matter if I don't retro (who will notice?) * if the piece will look OK to most I leave the mistake in as a unique idiosycratic variation (for our non-native English speakers this is verbal rubbish to justify not correcting a mistake!) * If I have to I retro - but the enjoyment of making lace is more important than the finished result (that's why I couldn't ever do it for money!) The wow! My membership of this list has given me * so much comfort that if my lace is right for me, then it's OK * if I want to do it in the traditonal way (or not) - this is where the answer is * membership of a global community joined in peace by a common interest - please let us grow Thank you to the workers - Liz for the list, Avital for moderating and the 40 regulars who contribute and from whom we lurkers all gain.

Re: [lace] Excellent book on ebay - Ricci
Dear Lace Scholars, My English language 2-volume set of the Ricci book, was priced $1,000. I knew the dealer and was able to negotiate. This is the English language set that Tess scanned for the Professor's site. I felt very strongly that everyone in the world should be able to access this body of work. After scanning, I had the bindings repaired. I think that brought the net cost back up to over $1,000. In 2002, I saw the set for sale somewhere for $1,400. So, a fair IOLI price, and a good cause. As a lace book collector, I do think IOLI should have one set in the permanent library, even though postage to a borrower would be prohibitive. This is because I have learned much from my Hungarian Lace friend about lost books and lost scholarship due to 2 World Wars and upheavals in Europe. These precious things need to be spread around in a variety of known locations. Just my 2 cents. Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center In a message dated 4/16/2009 8:59:33 A.M.

But does the nun who looks like she is spinning, actually have a bobbin in the center of that wheel and she is winding thread onto it from the spools to the right of her? Another possibility for the nun on the lower left, might be that she is mending a piece of lace or lacy garment that is pinned to the pillow.

Re: [lace] Nuns at Work-is it lace?
I also think the one on the left is doing bobbin lace judging by all the pins sticking out of the pillow. Maybe she is resting or winding the bobbin in her right hand. The nun in the front looks like she is reading the scriptures while they work. I like the holding the shelf up but it looks like she is holding a bowl up to a cat on the shelf.

Re: [lace-chat] Fwd: Frolicking with the Fishes
I like the inflating puffer fish too!!!

Move the mouse, slowly, to lead the fish by the nose; especially nice if you run the mouse around the fish, in circles. You can change the fish (left-hand side), or the background (right-hand side) for more variety.

[lace-chat] perspective
Be sure to go to the end... Did you know Michael Jordan having retired, with $40 million in endorsements, makes $178,100 a day, working or not. If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night while visions of sugarplums dance in his head. If he goes to see a movie, it'll cost him $7.00, but he'll make $18,550 while he's there. If he decides to have a 5-minute egg, he'll make $618 while boiling it. He makes $7,415/hour more than minimum wage. If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX ($90,000) it would take him a whole 12 hours. If someone were to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they would have to do it at the rate of $200 every second. He'll probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed $33,390 for that round. He'll make about $19.60 while watching the 100-meter dash in the Olympics, and about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon. This year, he'll make more than twice as much as all U.S. past presidents for all of their terms combined. Amazing isn't it? However... If Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 500 years, he'll still have less than Bill Gates has at this very moment. Game over. Nerd wins.
