[lace] Hand-made lace on ebay - no chance
A City and Guilds lacemaker is offering Goth hand-made lace gloves with an opening bid required of £250. Don't think she stands any chance of selling them, even though, as she says, they took 80 hours of work, are ridiculously expensive and totally exclusive. Very brave to base her price on hours spent in making them, but don't think that will persuade anyone to buy - they'll just see the price. We all know you can't make a living out of lacemaking unless you get a very special commission. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STUNNING-BLACK-HANDWORKED-BOBBIN-LACE-GOTH-GLOVES-/300500714223?pt=Women_s_Accessories_UKhash=item45f73d02ef or tinied: http://tinyurl.com/2wxerhf Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Christmas Exchange
Mine went into the post a week ago, but due to the difficult weather conditions and transportation disruptions over in the UK this week I can see mail piling up and maybe not getting where they should be going as normal. Hopefully it will be a temporary blip, but please can everyone take that into account, it might also be a problem with delays of mail coming into the UK and then being distributed around so we might all have to be a little more patient.

Re: [lace] Hand-made lace on ebay - no chance
The gloves (glovettes?) are beautifulI but hardly worth the price, and aren't particularly complex, I made something similar in tondèr a while back. I believe that particular angel is part of the statuary at highgate cemetery in London :-) On 7 Dec 2010, at 14:25, Malvary J Cole malva...@sympatico.ca wrote: Jean Nathan wrote: A City and Guilds lacemaker is offering Goth hand-made lace gloves with an opening bid required of £250.

She says that they took at least 80 hours to make not including design time. She won't win any prizes for speed that's for sure ;o) Claire Kent,UK Where thankfully the snow is disappearing.

Re: [lace] Hand-made lace on ebay - no chance
Hi All, I have just looked at the gloves, and love them!I'd certainly wear them - somewhere! - but as they are so expensive, maybe one of the gold, Indian hand embellishments could be used as a pattern, to design my own A project for the Christmas holiday perhaps, or maybe it would be quicker and cheaper to glance at the 'Power of Hands'website. But I also think that Abby from NCIS would look great in them - although I was not too impressed with the skeleton phalanges on which a glove was photographed, one of the photographs.

[lace] goth gloves bobbin ID tables
Hello All! WOW--issue #218 is surely jam packed with goodies. Thank you so much. Loved the goth gloves there are obviously a number of NCIS fans on this list! Abby needs those gloves to complement her black Battenburg parasol that has been featured in several episodes. The painted Russian bobbins reminded me of the nesting dolls. What a charming pillow they would make for a demo.

Re: [lace] Ebay item
Just an idea, the seller probably knows about wood-turning for furniture, but not about bobbin turning ? I did a quick google for Jenny Lind wood-turning style, to see that there are links for furniture about it.

[lace-chat] Dutch translation needed
I've come across what I think is either swearing or at least an expression of exasperation in Dutch. Can't get it translated through the web. Can anyone tell me what it means, or if it's swearing, and indication of what it is. It's sig, vent. Thanks.

[lace-chat] Victorian Farm
I just noticed that Victorian Farm will be shown on TV Ontario at 7:00 this evening (Monday), for anyone in Ontario. My students arrive while it is on, so I always tape it to watch later. Have just finished the series Museum of Life which was about the British Natural History Museum. Need to go there next time in London - no lace, but lots of other interesting stuff.
