Re: [lace] Pat Earnshaw Lace - Auction
Dear Jeri, I think many of us like to understand the other aspects of lace other than 'just' making it. Knowing what the antiques are worth is always interesting. For me, it's seeing what was made, when. And simply seeing examples of various laces is an education. I always look at the reports of what is for sale on Ebay, and sometimes copy it to my computer for later study, including the identification of lace. This particular offering is especially interesting because it belonged to Pat Earnshaw. I'm sure many of us are interested in seeing what she thought was worth having. Thanks so much for the information. I wouldn't have known otherwise, and that would have been a shame. Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where it is a pleasant fall, although the leaves have not turned. 66F 17C right before supper.

RE: [lace] Pat Earnshaw Lace - Auction
Dear Jeri and others I think it is most important and interesting to have this information. As a lace community these auctions of collections are historically important as well as of interest even if we are not in a position to bid for items. I will be examining closely and if not for your announcement would have missed it. Thank you for sharing and keeping us informed. We all move in different circles and together we don't miss much that is happening in the world of lace. That is why we subscribe. Please don't stop sharing book reviews and auctions and conservation advice. We all value it very highly. Annette in Wollongong, South Coast of NSW, Australia where it is wet and cold again. -Original Message- From: owner-l...@arachne.com [mailto:owner-l...@arachne.com] On Behalf Of jeria...@aol.com Sent: Thursday, 11 October 2012 4:19 AM Subject: [lace] Pat Earnshaw Lace - Auction Pat Earnshaw Lace and Textile Collection items are shown under Tab 7.

Re: [lace] Honiton lace shop
I was in Honiton earlier this year and the Lace Shop is now a Chinese restaurant. :o( All that's left is the words carved into the stonework of the building and a plaque on the wall with a very brief history.

Re: [lace] Honiton lace shop
I went many many years ago and was distressed to see they took large pieces of lace apart to sell in smaller sections.

[lace] Honiton lace shop
I was in Honiton a year or so back, spent a weekend there. I thought I wrote a posting to Arachne, but maybe not. The lace shop was definitely closed, very little traces of it. The museum was open, just winding down for the season at the time, and well worth a visit. Lots to buy in the shop! It's a lovely little town to spend time wandering around - lots of nice cafes (but surprisingly little in the way of accommodation), lace and other murals on exterior walls and very pretty countryside.

[lace] Pat Earnshaw Lace - Auction
No mention has been made on Arachne of the up-coming Kerry Taylor Auction on Tuesday, October 16th. Pat Earnshaw Lace and Textile Collection items are shown under Tab 7. There are other lace items throughout the on-line catalog. _info@kerrytaylorauctions.com_ (mailto:i...@kerrytaylorauctions.com) Select "Current Sale" It appears that other items from Earnshaw's collection will be in a subsequent auction. Are lace auction notices of interest to members of Arachne? If no feedback, I should stop sharing them.

Re: [lace] Straw embroidery and lace
The last item pictured on the site Avital gave us (below) was by Veronica Main, England. Perhaps there are some who are more than a little interested, so you might like to know that Main wrote a excellent book: "Swiss Straw Work - Techniques of a Fashion Industry", 2003, ISBN 0-9541795-0-1, Main Collins Publishing (self-pub.), 192 pages, very well illustrated in color, with detailed instructions, soft cover. Chapters on History, Materials, Equipment, Split Straw, Straw Thread, Whole Straw, Flattened Straw, etc. Some of this work is done using needlelace techniques. If you cannot find the book, contact me personally, and I will share how to reach the author in England. Without her permission, I will not violate her privacy on our public site (Arachne) -- which Google picks up! Security reminder to those who like to jump in with additional information -- think twice about what you are sharing -- Google captures what you write to Arachne.

[lace] Macrame
Hi Sue, Very colorful jewelry and nice work. Some of the earrings looked like they would work in bobbin lace. In fact, the spiral ones look similar to the ones that Ulrike Voelcker does. Ulrike might be teaching a short jewelry class next summer in Salt Lake City but so far, I have no idea on the patterns. I realised that I used to like doing macrame way back in the 60/70's, maybe that is what attracted me to bobbin lace. Janice From: "Sue Babbs" I am organising the teachers for the North Suburban NeedleArts Guild for this guild year, and one of them (Joan Babcock) is teaching micro-macramé and makes fascinating necklaces: http://www.joanbabcock.com/ Her work seems more akin to weaving than lace though Sue Janice Blair Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, USA where the leaves are dropping fast and there is a chill in the air. www.jblace.com http://www.lacemakersofillinois.org - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Fwd: Greek finger lace, etc
> > Slight correction. First, the book on Greek finger lace by Despina Koutsikas is on the "Arizona" site (http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html). Marji has taught a macrame class based on this, as many people know. What she is working on now is Margaretenspitzen, a fascinating development on Cavendoli. Both of these can be found on the web and are well worth taking a look at. > > Tess(tess1...@aol.com) in MAine USA, ablaze with autumn color - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Re: Straw Workk & Macrame
Thank you for the stunning inspiration in straw work, Avital http://www.thestrawshop.com/straw-embroidery.htm and macrame, Sue! http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/books/macrame_dmc.pdf They are coarser work than I tend to prefer, but definitely didn't need coffee to wake me up after seeing these things!
