Thank you for sharing the information for volunteering to help Australian

On a lace note, I've been working through the lace lessons in Syllabus

[lace] non-lace/Australian fires

2020-01-05 Thread sylvie nguyen
Thank you kindly, Australian lace makers, for your responses regarding
helping fire fighters, human, and wild life victims.  I've begun reading
through the suggested web sites in which assistance can be offered.
Eventually, as you become aware of lace makers in need, perhaps they can be
helped in some ways, as well.  It's hard to fathom such horrific fire
conditions.  Continues information is helpful.  (Though this is not
lace-related, I'm thinking of some our lace makers' lives.)

Kind regards,
Sylvie

[lace] working with a bolster pillow

Hello,
Having just finished my first lace motif on a bolster pillow, I'm in need
of advice.  My Idrija bobbins, wound with linen thread, repeatedly had
"growing" leads (distance between the bobbin and the pillow) on them.  What
do people advise, to maintain shorter leads?

Thank you, in advance, your suggestions.

Gon,

Because I also receive your weekly notice, of the newest edging, along with
a photo, on Facebook, I tend to compliment it there.  But, I do look
forward to seeing it.

With intensive work on a lace bolero vest, I haven't been working on much

making some of the edgings, as well as starting some other lace making

Thank you, kindly for the email regarding Lori Howe.  During my early years

[lace] Brazilian lace & other things

2006-11-16 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
Hello Elizabeth from Atbaia,Brazil and everyone else,

Welcome to the Arachne list.  Having looked at the
lace on your web site, I must say it's quite
interesting and pretty.  Perhaps someone on our list
can tell more about it.  

 I also place pins as far as I can reach on my roller
pillow, as Adele does.  It does seem that my right
hand has a tendency to push the pricking to the left. 


It is nice to be making lace again, as I was visiting
in  my husband's country for several weeks and did not
have a lace pillow with me. Most likely I wouldn't
have had time to touch my lace pillow, but plan to
bring it the next time in the event that we stay even
longer.  As I traveled around VN, I kept my eyes open
for signs of lace, needle arts, etc. I saw a great
deal of embroidery and sewing and some knitting being
done, among several other handcrafts and arts.

[lace] sewing machines

2006-07-05 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
All of the postings regarding sewing machine history
have been very interesting.  Being that I am not
familiar with   lace making machines, I enjoy reading
the postings.

As a young teenager, I learned to sew using a Singer
Featherweight.  During my many years of sewing, I've
used a variety of new machines and not-so-new
machines.  My current favorites are a new Brother
PQ1500 and a 30-year old Bernina.  

But, I've always remembered the old Singer that I used
long ago.  Recenty I was able to purchase a Singer
Featherweight in near mint condition.  The friend who
got it for me has always maintained that I needed to
start a collection of something.  Looks like I now
have a small collection of sewing machines.

Now, in the interest of lace making, it's time to
gather my things to go to our weekly lake making
gathering.

[lace] full spectrum light bulbs

2006-05-01 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
While looking for light bulbs at a home building
supply store, I was amazed to find a few different
types of full spectrum lights and light bulbs.  
Now that I have been using a bulb and a desk light
that were purchased from the store, I can honestly say
that they work very every bit as nicely as the
expensive Ott bulbs.  Through some internet research,
it seems that the varieties that I found produce the
same type of light as Ott bulbs.  
The purchases that I made were far less expensive than
Ott bulbs, but not as inexpensive as regular bulbs.  

Sylvie, in very dark and rainy Cherry Valley,
Illinois, USA... a good day to use my lights.

[lace] activities in the Denver area

2005-05-02 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
Being that plenty of suggestions have been offered
regarding internet/computer usage in Denver, I have
other suggestions.  While my sons would also suffer
withdrawal symptoms if deprived of internet usage, we
have always found interesting activities that we have
all enjoyed.

During the summer, numerous bike shops in the ski
resort areas provide bike rentals for minimal charges.
 Being able to ride around the towns and down ski runs
(a bit more challenging) is wonderful. Riding the ski
lifts (very inexpensive in the summer) provide photo
opportunities. My sons also used the time to take
numerous photos which they posted on their web pages. 
One can also participate in water sports, go to the
mint in downtown Denver, and numerous other
activities.  Really, there is not a shortage of
activities for a person of any age.  

So, do register to attend the IOLI convention in
Denver.

[lace] ages of lace makers

2005-03-17 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
In recent postings to Arachne there has been
considerable information pertaining to the ages of US
lace makers, particularly ages of those attending the
IOLI conference.

Being the youngest of my local guild, and generally
one of the younger lace makers (I am not that young,
as my younger son is going off to university this
fall), I have received more than my fair share of
joking about my age, etc.

Personally, I don't feel that lace making is an
expensive hobby. (I have friends who regularly spend
far greater amounts of money in just one day of
shopping at a mall.)  It's only the attendance at
conventions that requires greater expenditures.

But, that leads to my question.  Are there greater
numbers of lace makers of varying ages in coutries,
other than the US?  What number of those lace makers
attends lace fairs and and conventions?

[lace] Balinese lace, wire lace

2005-02-17 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
Dona, thank you for posting the web site regarding
Balinese lace.  While I found it to be interesting and
attractive, I would like to know a bit more about it. 
I hope that your next trip there, to make lace, will
be very pleasant.

The web sites containing photos of the wire laces are
also very interesting and inspirational.  While I
don't have plans to make a wire fence, the ideas could
be expanded to create yard items, such as trellises.

Sylvie,

Having recently purchased Kloppel-Kurs, Fur

[lace] pronunciation

2004-09-04 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
My point of view is in agreement with most of the
people who have posted.  I feel that it's best to use
the true pronunciation of the name of a lace, and make
my best attempt to do so.  

I certainly know how it feels to have my name
mispronounced as it has been most of my life.  While I
naturally use the American pronunciation of "Sylvie,"
people still instist on calling me "Sylvia," which is
not my name.  Of course, my last name is utterly
impossible for most to pronounce.

Chelle,
It's nice to hear that you are now situated in
Suriname and have gotten your bobbins out.  It  would
be nice to hear how you're doing in Suriname and if
you are able to meet other lace makers.

I tried looking at your photos, but the web site

[lace] travel pillow

2004-07-27 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
During car trips, I greatly enjoy using an 18 inch
Toustou cookie pillow on my lap.  Its weight keeps it
in place and the size is appropriate for working on
small motifs or wire lace.

My husband and I made a small roller pillow which also
works well in the car, though I find that I must
occasionally hold on to bobbins that move a little too
much.  I've not used travel bobbins yet.

It would be interesting to know who uses travel
bobbins.

My current projects include the following:
1. painting of the final wall in the living room,
2. sewing,
3. angel in wire lace,

Not working full time during summers, provides more

Hi Veronika,
Because I do enjoy working with linen, as well as

[lace] sneak previews of lace bulletins/publications

2004-01-13 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
I have never felt that any of the sneak previews of new lace publications have spoiled 
my personal reading time.  Rather, they make me all the more eager to get my copies to 
read.   It also nice to be able to recognize and congratulate those who have published 
works.  Because I am still somewhat new in the lace world, I enjoy reading and hearing 
about lace makers and their work from more than one source.
 
Now that I have a little quiet time, I am going to read more of my copy of the newest 
lace bulletin.

[lace] color-trained husband

2003-11-12 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
When I first started to make Milanses bobbin lace, my
husband was finally impressed with my lace saying that
it was nice to see some colors.  While my color blind
husband has most likely been color trained, he is
unsure of most of the colors I use in Milanese lace. 
My husband, I think, finds the designs of my Milanese
and wire lace to be more interesting than other laces,
so perhaps it wasn't necessarily the colors.

In daily life, being color blind has not been a
problem.  Occasionally, as my husband does some
wiring, I am called upon to label colors of wires for
him.

On a more interesting note, I have a new student who
is just learning to speak English.  In addition to
being vision impaired, I've been told that he doesn't
see any colors at all.  Being that I am a highly
visual instructor, it's necessary to find other
creative methods of instruction.

Tamara's suggestion of perhaps limiting patterns to
the use of just a few colors in addition to types of
lines might be the best compromise.

[lace] wire lace

2003-09-23 Thread Sylvie Nguyen
Helen and Arachne members,
I quite agree with you, in that wire is a very nice
medium for making bobbin lace.
While I unfortunately didn't take one of Lenka's
classes, several of my lace friends did.  With my
friends' help, reading, and having talked to Lenka, I
am really enjoying making wire lace.  My recently
finished projects include a bracelet, choker, an egg,
and Lenka's mermaid.  
Yesterday a wire lace book arrived, which I had
ordered from Canada.  While I must wait a few days to
start, I look foward to my next wire lace project.
