[cadega2]

Hi all,
Yes Karisse, Carmen Roig is a Spanish lacemaker, and the hanky is worked in 
Ret-Fi, our Catalonian Blonda.

[lace] RIP Marianne Stang

[cadega2]

A great loss. Marianne has been like a Fairy godmother for lacemakers, 
preserving the tradition of lace and supporting new generations,  from here my 
gratitude to her and my condolences to her family Anneliese  and Lothar always 
by her side, participating and collaborating with Marianne at all times.

Re: [lace] Lacemaking in Colonial Spanish America

[cadega2]

The artifacts in the hands of the lady in the picture I think that they are 
clearly bobbins. By the way very well represented.
What really surprises me is the lace displayed on the big pillow, as the Codex 
is dated in 18th century. This is older than The picture that Bev has 
contributed with and taken in last century. 
The word “trenzilla” it means a type of ribbon that usually was made with the 
hands as a plait, as a trimming which was used to cover the seams, and also to 
decorate dressings, hats, objects, or any other piece made with thick tissues, 
so the threads were also thick, golded or plated.
It Leads me to think that this word “trenzilla” and the verb “trenzillar”, 
could be used in the next century to describe “a type of lace made with thick 
threads” in the Spanish Colonies.
On another hand, it is known  that in Spain were made narrow laces since 17th 
century worked with few pairs of bobbins, done for the same purpose, that of 
trimming and/or decorate the underskirt and linens but in this case the 
material was white thread.
The picture in this case shows a big pillow, and the piece does not seem a set 
of narrow braids worked at the same time all broad wise, but a wide piece of 
lace. 
Very interesting. I would like to hear the opinion of Maria Greil.
Regards.

[lace] Miniature pillow lace

[cadega2]

Helen I know a Spanish couple who work, miniature lace the wife, and miniature
wood work the husband. One of their pieces is the little lace pillows with
lace.
As far as I know, she makes the lace on a traditional lace pillow and then
moves it to the miniature work, hanging the little bobbins afterwards too.
Here a link to their site: www.minicucadas.com

Re: [lace] Artesania El Boixet

[cadega2]

Yes Janis, they are active. They were attending the Diada lace Day event in 
Sant Cugat last Sunday. In Spain they are lace events every week so, they are 
possibly very bussy...
I hope this helps to afford the wait...

Re: [lace] What constitutes Gros Point?

[cadega2]

I understand that it is which in Italian is called "punto piatto de Venice",
it could be translated as Flat Point of Venice.
Museo Arnold Caprai, has some illustrating examples and could be seen the
differences between Gros Point and Flat Point.

Re: [lace] Saxony Lace-Czech?

[cadega2]

Definitely this piece is not the style of Hinojosa lace. 
As I privately commented to Devon, Hinojosa is a continuous tape lace without 
grounds nor fillings between tapes.
The Saxony piece is a part tape lace worked with clothstitch. There are drawn 
some spaces between tapes that are filled with "vermicellos". The vermicello is 
a little tape which is worked making little rings that seem holes, coming back 
on itself again and again until the space is filled. It is also called 
"occhiolino tipo serpentino" . There are in Italia pieces completely made with 
this stitch, especially in the North.
On the book "Merletto a Fuselli"  -Note de storia e materiali d'archivio- tells 
about the cultural relation between the Lace School of Gorizia with others 
Schools in Viena, Eslovenia, Praga and Germany before the First World 's War.
So  it is not a nonsense thinking in the possiblity of a piece with some common 
features

Greetings from Barcelona. Spain.

Re: [lace] Convention Teacher Showcase

[Cadega2]

Hello Bev and all,
The pattern for @-Arachne is free to download from my web, and I designed it 
for all Arachneans.
This is the first mail I send to Majordomo from gmail. I have decided to 
subscribe with another server than AOL, as I was sure I was missing mails from 
the list.
