[lace] Clock panic over
Another update on the clock face and frame saga. The offending piece is going back to the seller and we purchased another clock today which looks idea for the job. Glass front, deep enough to take lace and hands inside and nice and elegant overal. Will take photos when it is all complete. The lace is coming on well and should be finished by the end of this week i think. Thank you to several people for their ideas and help. I am now feeling quite happy about this project at last.

[lace] lace clock
Hello All! Since I'm coming late to the "lace clock" discussion, my suggestion won't be needed. But for future reference, there are antiquarian horologists--antique clock dudes--who have all manner of gigglybobs to repair/refurbish/remodel timepieces of all types. They are definitely a group of artisans & it's possible that the original clock could have been fitted with glass by modifying the case. When one of my mid-1800's French clocks needed parts, my guy fabricated some himself then replicated a hand-enameled dial on copper by sending the specs to China--so we're talking can-do craftsmen with world-wide resources. Luckily, a replacement clock was found but that's not always possible. Looking forward to pictures of the lace clock upon completion!!

Re: [lace] macrame

The book does have two "sculptural" flowers but the rest are borders or insertions - just incredibly gorgeous things!! It's in French but the diagrams look pretty good for non-French readers like me. The variety is amazing and the combinations seem endless. There are some great new booklets on macrame (mostly in Italian), with gorgeous lacy edgings and sometimes medallions. I've been looking into this since the mid-90s, when I saw an amulet bag in macrame, made with (probably 8 or 12) pearl cotton. Then there's the book that will soon (I hope!) be published by Marji Suhm on Greek fingerlace. It's a Greek version of macrame-type lace. Robin Robin P.
