Re: [lace] lace picture of a dragon
Hi Sherry, Several years ago, when the Lace Guild convention was in Llandudno, the goodie bag was a folder of several dragon prickings, and at least one tatted one. They were all beautiful, but in one of the recent Lace newsletters, was the pricking for Puff, the dragon, as well as a much larger one taking two pages. I hope this helps!

[lace] re Laces named after people
Iske Thompson is quite right that the term Regency describes quite different historical times in France and in England 1715-23 and 1811-1820. A hundred years apart ! It is quite possible that both Regency periods had laces named after them. The study of lace can be most confusing. We base our research on what we have found from English sources . Mrs Bury Palliser published her History of Lace in 1865. It is a large and detailed work and must have been several years in preparation and the time of the English Regency would certainly have been within living memory of her readers. She studies lace from across Europe and clearly says in a chapter on Northamptonshire in England that a "point ground lace, with the cloth or toilé on the edge' was named Regency Point in compliment to the Prince Regent ( page 364) In our Regency Collection booklets we have based our work on prickings found in English collections. In our study we noticed that the sprays of tendrils and stems without flowers ( which is most marked in the Margery Carter pricking that Angela Brown has reconstructed) were very similar to English designs of the late Eighteenth and early Nineteenth Century in other textiles , prints and embroideries. Only last weekend I saw a similar design on an embroidered Empire line dress of the period on display at The Royal Pavilion Brighton, the country home of England's Prince Regent. The fascinating thing about studying lace is that it is such a vast and intricate subject in all its aspects. We see it as a source of inspiration to develop new designs for today.

RE: [lace] Weavers knot
Yes there is a trick and it makes a difference. With one end you make an underhand with a loop. The other end must be placed into the loop in the correct direction. I usually forget and test my knot, if it slips out, I put it into the loop from the other direction. Sometimes, the thread is very slick. If this is the case, I redo the knot, and pull on the ends of one thread, then the ends of the other thread, just adjusting and setting the knot somewhat. Sometimes this sets it in place.

Hello All! Thank you Lorelei for posting the link to some great stuff. The black parasol #136 is charming, there are some terrific individual motifs that any crazy quilter would die for #29-38, slinky lace dresses--various #s, interesting knits--various #s, but the shoes--OMG--the shoes #260!! Would you believe, there are companies that will make shoes to order? Why yes indeedy & they are as close as your nearest full service needlepoint shop. I stumbled across a supplier when I recently visited shops in North Palm Beach & Jupiter, Florida. The customer stitches the needlepoint canvas of choice & submits their completed work along with a pair of shoes & a template of their feet. From what I could tell, all types of shoes were available: sandals, pumps, wedges, mules & loafers. What a delightful alternative to "designer" shoes!

[lace] Lace Dragon
I did save the picture of the dragon...but can't remember where I saw it. It was from a Lace Picture Album. Maybe even one that Laurie shared with us. The dragon was mostly oranges with some yellow and red. The dragon was done in mainly tape lace. It also remined me of Schneeburger Lace. I do have the set of dragon patterns from the Hollies and I did have the box set of dragon patterns that I sold back a couple years ago on ebay when my husband was on strike and we needed the money to stay a float here.

Re: [lace] Weavers knot
What is it that you want the knot to do? We use it to tie two threads together, that they don't come apart when tugged. Although, lately I've just done an overhand knot with two threads, and that seems sufficient - the weaver's knot, aka sheet bend, is most useful for tying two threads of differing thickness.

Re: [lace] Laces named after people
it was the Duchesses de Brabant in English. Later she become queen Marie Henriette de Belge. And the two others were named after cities, Duchesse de Bruges and Duchesse de Buxelles. The Regency lace got its name after the time of regency of Louis Philippe d'Orléans (1715 - 1723). In Europe it is a time between baroque and rokoko. For the lace it was the change from grounds with plaits into net-grounds. Sometimes those laces don't have any of both so the patterns/motives goes one into the other. The patterns are very rich filled with motives. I heard about Regency point, which shall the name after the time from 1800 - 1830 in England. The time of prince and king George IV (1820 - 1830). This shall be a small Bedfordshire lace with gimp and hexagonal mesh-ground. Ilske - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Laces named after people
There is another lace, not a bobbin lace, the Margaret(h)en-Spitze, named after Margarethe Neumann. She invented in Dresden or Plauen, you could find both in different sources, a lace made with knots with colored cotton-threads. You work on cushion/pillow after a deign only with your hands. The motives are flowers, trees, leaves or animals. Ilske - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Laces named after people
Nathalie, As far as I know it's more col Colbert, which means a certain sort of men's collar high fashioned during that time. In some books one could find that the very early point de France was named point Colbert. And I knew that during 1850/1855 two sisters with the name Bénard which worked for August Lefébure in Bayeux made a "retro" of those laces. With a flowery pattern, very stiff. It was a success as a decoration on dresses. This lace was worked till the early 20th. century and also imitated from other manufactories.
