[lace] A thought about demonstrating etc
Hi I have been following the discussion about demonstrating with interest and have had a thought about opportunities for demonstrating. In the UK in recent years there has been a fashion for holding Christmas tree festivals in the weeks leading up to Christmas in churches, our church is holding their first one at the end of November. If you don't know, the church approaches church members and local organisations set up a tree in the church. The church is open to visitors for a weekend or longer. This could be a good chance to get our lace seen, lace Christmas decorations are both easy to make and good to look at. And churches need to be manned, so an opportunity to demonstrate, in the northern hemisphere light could be a problem, but this could create a good opportunity to get lace seen and talked about. I'm definitely going to see if I can get to mind the church while our festival is on, and take a lace pillow, even though I've not got enough time to display a tree.

I really like the poster, Mark, but I wondered if S.W.A.T. in lace terminology stands for Started With A Twist?

[lace] Demo / christmas
You could make a start with christmas stable figures and have the rest of the patterns on display. Or mix your lace figures between other type(s) of crafty figures.

[lace] Plimouth jacket
Hello All! Upon checking http://plays-with-needles.blogspot.com scrolling down, I found the Plimouth jacket project has been completed it is on display at Winterthur. There are some very lovely photos posted, including close-ups of the embroidery spangled LACE! Worth a look.

RE: [lace] Re: demonstrating lace/NY (SWAT team logo)
Sorry Pat, that song wasn't familiar to me, so I Googled it - found out it was a 1982 number and when I played the UTube video, it didn't ring any bells. However, my old Some People poem (my favourite) can be sung to the tune of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean Some people knit wool into blankets Some crochet with treble and chain. Some people cut lovely new fabric Just to sew it together again. Bring back, bring back, bring back my bobbins to me, to me. Bring back, bring back, bring back my bobbins to me. But me, I like to use bobbins And weave patterns in thread without fear. And if people should say it's so useless, So are peacocks and rainbows, my dear. (Are you still on Arachne, Sulochola?) (And for tatters, the word bobbins can be replaced by shuttles) Noelene in Cooma nlaffe...@ozemail.com.au -Perhaps Noelene could write a poem to be sung to the tune of 'It started -with a kiss' to go with the poster and the new wording!

[lace] Another place to demonstrate
I have noticed that a very, very large number of lacemakers also knit. The same may go for weavers, but since bringing a loom for handwork isnât practical, I donât notice that as much. Anyhow, there are 2 very popular wool conventions in the middle Atlantic states, the Maryland Sheep and Wool, and the New York State Sheep and Wool. Iâm wondering about lace demonstration in those areas, and have emailed the Maryland Sheep and Wool people to find out if one would have to pay for demonstrating, since no profit would be made by the demonstrator, directly or indirectly. It might require making lace with laceweight yarn, but there are designs for such things. Great for scarves. I believe the new Jane Atkinson book on contemporary lace could be useful here. Perhaps you have something similar near you. Remember, in the US we are starting at an assumed absolute zero in information about bobbin lace by the general public. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] to Glue or not to glue?
Another idea may be to try a Golden acrylic gel called GAC900 or the silk screen fabric gel. They are specifically formulated to be used with fabric. They dry with a softer hand than glues usually do. I've used it in painting on fabric. Here is the Golden Web site on using their products with fabric http://www.goldenpaints.com/technicaldata/fabric.php Has anyone tried this?

And then I heard from a friend that the Chesapeake Region Lace Guild used to demonstrate there. I should have known someone would have thought of that long before. lrb Anyhow, there are 2 very popular wool conventions in the middle Atlantic states, the Maryland Sheep and Wool, and the New York State Sheep and Wool.

[lace] Vemeer's Lacemaker - again
I've made a change in the Vermeer Lacemaker post on LaceNews. I've split the post in two, one describes just the current Fitzwilliam exhibition. The other goes into a new category called 'Fine Art', and contains the rest of the discussion and reader comments. To continue with this, I also just posted a piece on Han van Meergeren's forgery of the so called 'lost Vermeer Lacemaker'. Tomorrow, continuing in the Vemeer vein, I'll put up a piece on Salvador Dali's copy of the Lacemaker. It's quite an experience.

[lace-chat] New Dentures
A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The first Sunday after he gets his new teeth, he talks for only eight minutes. The second Sunday, he talks for only ten minutes. The following Sunday, he talks for 2 hours and 48 minutes. The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and they asked him what happened. The Pastor explains the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn't talk for more than 8 minutes. The second Sunday his gums hurt too much to talk for more than 10 minutes. But, the third Sunday, he put his wife's teeth in by mistake and he couldn't shut up...
