Re: [lace] Rumblings in Russia
Oh my goodness - this is so backward. Didn't they ever hear of microfibers, that absorb even more moisture than cotton? Modern synthetics are really not comparable to what we had say twenty years ago - I was really surprised how comfortable , soft and fast drying high quality sportswear can be after buying a polo shirt and some clothes for the gym, being a die hard 100% cotton wearer up to then. Though the "safety" reason is probably just an excuse, I guess the cotton industry there is going down and they just have no clue what to do against that. Maybe they should make good threads for lace making with their cotton, there's certainly a market for that ;-) Achim. > Russia bans synthetic lace next to the skin - I kid you not.

RE: [lace] Salamander group
I was introduced to Escher's (a compatriot of mine) art work at a young age and even met him once at a gallery and have been fascinated by his works ever since. I have several books on Escher's works, and have a long standing intention of trying to turn some of these into lace patterns. If time and talent permitted me ... Here you find a lot of his mathematical drawings: http://www.mcescher.com/gallery/symmetry/ Including the salamander or lizard (as he called it).

[lace] Escher designs
I am a fan of Escher designs and all pieces called "Metamorphosis" are impressive. In effect the salamander lace is taken from: http://www.mcescher.com/gallery/switzerland-belgium/no-25-lizard I have worked recently an insert for T-shirt in black forming a group of opposite leaves which remembers Escher designs: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204508661018992&set=a.4189948789458.2176679.1306761032&type=1 Kind regards from Barcelona Carolina de la Guardia www.carolgallego.com El 02/09/2014 9:41, Joke Sinclair escribió: Looking at the salamander picture reminded me of this picture. http://www.mcescher.com/gallery/switzerland-belgium/development-iii/ - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Salamander group
I agree whole heartedly with Robin. atricia in Wales Joy Beeson wrote: > What do you think of this? I agree that attempting to keep all salamander postings in one thread will make the discussion easier to read -- and easier to avoid for those not interested. Robin said: Not planning to join the salamander-makers, but my suggestion is that they put 'salamander' in the subject line (before the more specific subject of the message). That way, those who don't want to read them can easily recognize the unwanted messages. Some people should be able to set up a 'rule' to remove the messages from their list. Personally, I don't see a problem with salamander messages in the Arachne list any more than any other thread. But labelling the salamander messages should be a reasonable compromise. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Another Salamander/Escher project
Carolina's Escher-like T shirt brings to mind another possible salamander project. I am especially fond of lace on T shirts, as I wear them a lot, and it is a good way to display lace. I would take the pattern and reduce it until it could fit Aurifil 50 thread, and make enough salamanders to put together on a T shirt, the same as an Escher print, or the original Salamander Project. Using all sorts of colors, it would make a very neat shirt. (Another project on my T shirt list is to use Ulrike Voelcker's Flanders letters book to make a sign saying, "This is bobbin lace") Lyn, presently vacationing in Southwest Harbor, Maine, USA where the weather has been beautiful. Rain at night, clear during the day, comfortable for shorts or pants. And lobster! - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
