hello,

can somebody tell me from what time a lacemakers lamp (in Dutch : ordinaal),

using an ordinaal  ?

Re: [lace] Ecclesiastical work

2005-08-24 Thread Bobbinlacemaker
In 1983 there was a beautiful exhibition : Kant uit Brugse kerken en 
kloosters (= lace from churches and convents in Brugge), and it had a 
publication too, published by the kantcentrum (175 pages). I don't know if 
it is still for sale over there, but once in a while I see that publication 
on the fleemarket.

[lace] lace collection A. Lescure 1908

2005-08-08 Thread Bobbinlacemaker

Hello,
I am looking for 2 articles of Les Arts 1908 nr 78 and 79 about the lace 
collection of Alfred Lescure. I think they may be on the CD from the 
professor, can someone look it up for me please and tell me what they are 
about and how many pages it takes ?
Are there Swiss lacemakers on the list, living in the neighbourhood of St. 
Gallen ? (just to ask some information on the textilmuseum).


thank you all,

[lace] Re : Bart - Francis threads

2005-06-29 Thread Bobbinlacemaker
It seems that I always get my messages later than all of you, so here it is 
: the address from Bart and Francis :


Bart T'Joens en Francis Busschaert
Blankenbergse Steenweg, 336
8000 Brugge - België

No open  shop, you have to contact them if you want to see or buy threads, 
I only go there when he has a special sales day (I don't know the right 
word for it in english) and that is twice a year I think.
Marvellous threads, beautiful colours, I like to work with it even for my 
fine laces.


And no connection with this shop, just a satisfied customer !

[lace] Margaret Simeon's lace collection

2005-02-17 Thread Bobbinlacemaker
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 17:59:41 -0500
From: Susan Lambiris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [lace] Margaret Simeon's lace collection
Recently I bought an english book, History of Lace, published in 1979 by
Margaret Simeon with illustrations from her own lace collection. Judging
by the photographs she had quite a good collection of lace; does anyone
on the list know what has happened to it since 1979?
With great curiosity,
Sue.
As far as I know the  whole collection has been auctioned, by her heir, in 
1992 somewhere in England. A little white tag was attached on each of the 
pieces, and in her handwriting the tag mentioned the kind of lace and 
period.
She had indeed a fascinating collection of lace and her book is still one of 
the best in this category. I always wonder what happens with those unique 
collections, are they always scattered all over the world ?

[lace] royal wedding - handkerchief big hearts

I do have the pattern and pricking of the straight border of the big heart
tonder lace, but not the corner. Does anyone know where one can get the
corner, or is this not available ?
I didn't see the handkerchief yet, but is the corner mirrored or 'pulled
together (sorry, I don't know the right word ) ?

[lace] book in the latest issue of Kant

2004-01-27 Thread Bobbinlacemaker
Hi Sue,

Le mouchoir en dentelle de valenciennes, isn't really a book, it is a
these made in the 3th year of the teacherscourse in the Kantcentrum by
Rosanna Orgiu and Elisabeth Dejonghe. It doesn't contain patterns, only
history, and it is not translated in english. I do have this this thesis.

kind regards,

Magda from cold Flanders

The latest issue of Kant arrived here early last week.  At the back a book
is advertised called Le Mouchoir en Dentelle de Valenciennes by Orgu and
Dejonghi.  Has anyone seen this book?  On the cover are two Valenciennes
patterns, a hanky edging and an insertion; are these the only patterns in
the book or are there several?  Do they have working diagrams and prickings
and is there an English translation.

If anyone has seen this book and can answer my questions it would be
appreciated.  The book would cost about $NZ60 which is a lot to put out and
then find there is nothing of interest in it!

Sincerely,

Sue Fink
Masterton, New Zealand

[lace] dentelle polychrome de courseulles

2003-09-10 Thread Bobbinlacemaker
Hello,

I did some bookshopping this afternoon in Brugge and had no difficulty in
finding the 2 books on polychrome lace de Courseulles that were discussed
awhile ago : 1) dentelle polychrome de Courseulles  par Jean Claude Brulet
et 2) dentelles normandes - polychrome de Courseulles par Claudette et
Michel Bouvot (the numbered edition) ,  they are still available... I also
saw  Schwarzarbeit from Ulrike Löhr, someone asked about this book, some
time ago.
Just for the information,

greetings from rainy Belgium,

Magda

[lace] graduate

2003-06-21 Thread Bobbinlacemaker
Hello again,

This time just to thank all my fellow lacemakers from the list for their
congratulations, I was overwhelmed with positive reactions, and this
stimulates me to go on with the delicate fine laces such as Binche, Mechlin,
and Valenciennes. It takes indeed a lifetime once you start research in this
matter, and my appreciation for the lacemakers of the 18th century is still
growing, but let's go on creating the future.
