[lace] Lace in Greece

2015-09-27 Thread Karen Thompson

In early November I will be in Greece for a couple weeks with my husband.
Can anyone recommend any museums and/or shops with lace, or anything lace
related in Athens? We'll also visit Crete among other places.
Thank you.

Hi Susan and All

I've just found that the Ring of Tatters had some tatting round bangle
patterns in their last newsletter.  Thought I'd share the info!!

> Hello All!  At lace guild today--Lacers of the Lake--we discussed the bangle
ornaments that I am attempting to make--thanks to the Arachne members who
provided patterns & advice to get me started.  The tatters loved the idea &
wanted to know if there are bangle patterns for tatting so I said I would ask
the experts!  IMHO, it would seem easier to tat the ornament, then attach it
to the bangle, as inconspicuously as possible, with fine white thread.  But
then I know nothing about tatting!  We will be decorating the glass exhibit
case at the library where we meet for the month of December & the effect of
dangling bangle-ornaments at varying heights will be smashing.  Please share
advice if you can shed some light on this!  Many thanks.  Sincerely, Susan

Hi All,  I knew the sardines sounded familiar. You can go to the Arachne
Archive and put sardine in the search box you'll find conversations we had
about the Sardine Crisis book in the past.

It's really interesting to read this new conversation about Picot
Bigouden!

Thanks again! Wow--I found two books, the one with the orange cover & the black & white one
with the girls making lace. I've got the ISBN for the orange one & it looks like there are motifs
& patterns. The second one seems to be a history book related to the 1902 sardine crisis & how
lace making helped support the impoverished population. A few YouTube videos show the technique &
it's all in the wrist! If there are other books, please let me know. Thanks for helping the solve the
mystery (to me!) of this beautiful lace. I was trying to understand whether it was similar to needle
lace or bobbin lace in Normandy but it is neither! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA

Hi, we are taking about a different book and different techniques. We only
used crochet cotton and string, no wire. If you put Picot Bigouden into
internet you will see what I am talking about. I will look at the book you
have mentioned. But something else for us both to think about. In the
meantime I will get back to the hairpin crochet.

Maureen

Thanks Maureen! Perhaps we are discussing the same book? Dentelle en Bretagne by Viviane
Helias & Helene Cario, published by coop breizh. When you attended the class, did you
use wire? It looks like wire & linen cord are combined? Another website has some
info: guennbretagne.centerblog.net. Apparently there was a demo/exhibit this year &
an elderly gentleman showed how to do the finishing/starching. All very interesting as the
lace and/or wire must be robust enough to maintain the fanciful shapes. There are also
references to embroidered segments that are assembled with the lace motifs. What did you
learn/make in the class? You are very lucky to have attended! It's certainly a class I
would take if the teacher comes to the US, unless my friend drags me to Brittany first.
She won't need to pull too hard as this is an area of France that I have not seen. Looking
forward to learning more! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA

Good morning

Picot Bigouden is a crochet lace very much in the style of Irish crochet and
was, I think, modelled on it. I have a book on this lace having been to a
workshop on it last year. The book is in French but the photos are very clear
so you can work the patterns out if you can't speak or read the language...
