[lace] Change of e-mail address website
Hello everyone I thought you would want to know that Jane Atkinson (Designer, Author, Tutor) from Christchurch, UK has changed both her e-mail and web site addresses. You can reach her at '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', and view her website at 'www.contemporarylace.com'. This website is well worth a look - I am booked on the lace holiday in Western France in September, which Jane is leading. Do take at a peek at her work that is shown on the site.

RE: [lace] oval leaves
Hello again, it is interesting following this thread, but no one has actually re-posted the link to the original visual description that I was after. Also, to those worried about the effect on my hands of changing at this stage of the game, I am only interested in trying out other methods, just to see what I can achieve. I don't anticipate making hundreds or even thousands of leaves, as some of you do!

[lace] Oval Leaves
I feel a bit of a fool - thought I had saved the site for the leaves, which showed in clear detail step by step, a method of making them. Please could someone let me have the address again. Sorry to trouble you, but it was a very clear description. I have made leaves in the 'English' manner (on the pillow rather than in the hand) all my lacemaking life, but am just starting to experiment with other methods, in the hope that I can 'perfect' mine. However, I should add that I do not work in fine threads, so I am looking for an ideal, fool-proof (:-)) way with 16/2 and thicker fibres. I suspect that it is more down to the maker than the thread, but I live in hope!

RE: [lace] Re: Lace with paper strings
I bought my paper string in Ikea! Quite cheap, but only five colours. However, I'm still waiting to use it! Pauline Denmark - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Turbo Cad
Hello again, I have long owned a copy of Turbo Cad, which I bought with the intention of using it for grids etc. However, it seems rather complicated to me, and I wonder whether any other members have experience using it, or can offer any tips to help me get started.

Hi, it's Pauline Denmark actually! Not Pauline in or from Denmark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jane Viking Swanson Sent: 30 July 2006 22:47 To: arachne Subject: [lace] Workshops on the Web melting Hi All, Thank you to whoever sent the note on Workshops-on-the-Web (Pauline in Denmark maybe?). I accidentally deleted that e-mail : ( but I Googled and came up with this URL. What a wonderful site! You can see a 2001 issue to get an idea of what articles are offered. Lots of information on embellishment!! And embellishment can include lace G. http://www.workshopontheweb.com/index.htm Also I saw some lace done on the machine somewhere on the site. I'm glad to read the hints on keeping your hands dry for lace making. For keeping the rest of you cool. I suggest a hot water bottle or ice bag filled with ice water or just cold water and placed on whatever part of you feels too hot! In the US we have something called Blue Ice which is a blue gel in a hard or soft plastic container. You keep it in the freezer to put in lunch boxes and such. Anyway, I wrap one in a tea towel and put it on my forehead, neck, chest, wherever. It helps for hot flashes too VBG. And regarding making bobbin lace in the heat, I recall a photo of David Downunder in the buff in a creek working on his lace pillow perched on the shore G.

RE: [lace] Coppers/mangles
Jean, do you remember having to fold the buttons on garments to the insides, so they weren't pulled off by the mangle's actions, tearing the fabric away at the same time? Even the rubber buttons on my 'liberty' vests had to be turned inside out this way. I reckon that maybe that's where 'mangled' and 'he's been through the mangle a few times!' originated. Those were the days when we put top sheets to bottom, and washed the bottom ones only :-) My Mother had 8 beds to change each week, so no wonder it was one clean sheet per bed per week. She too used a copper boiler and a mangle, but she never used the mangle in place of ironing - I well remember sheets coming in off the line frozen stiff in the winter, and being draped around the kitchen (on the range fireguard, on one of those 'maidens' etc. Thank you, whoever invented the automatic washing machine and tumble dryer!
