Re: [lace] Advice, please, on the donut candle holders
Hi Clay and all, Sorry I forgot to sign off, but I realized 2 seconds after sending the message and sent another. Matthew and I live in South Wales in the UK. Matthew turns bobbins and I pyrograph them and add sparklers to them. Also I design and sell patterns which is why I mentioned Matthew selling the UFOs with the acetate discs. At lace days we have the UFOs on the table with the lace in, on the acetate disc and I thought that it was probably where Jacquie's student had seen the mounted lace. I didn't want to say to much as I don't want to be seen as advertising our wares and I usually sign off with a couple of lines about us. I don't know where there is a picture of these on the internet, but if any one wants to see one, I can take a photo and e.mail it. Susan Groh in the US sells them. They are really attractive items and make super presents. Imagine a glass flying saucer with an indentation in the top to take a tea light, and lace inside. Jenny Mother of Matthew who turns the bobbins for me to pyrograph and then add the sparklers. - Original Message - From: Clay Blackwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jshester [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2003 12:21 AM Subject: Re: [lace] Advice, please, on the donut candle holders Hi !

Jenny, I (she says proudly) have a complete bunny collection from you guys. I have a pair of midlands bobbins along with a needle case, round thing you stick pins in (yoyo) and wax holder - the sparklies are the bunnies' tales. They were a birthday pressie from my parents last year and I adore them. Whilst it may be advertising to promote your own wares it isn't for me to do so and I will happily tell people how pleased I am with them.

Hi all, again!!! It took all my brain power to write the reply to Jacquie below that I forgot to sign it. Doh, what a nut case.

I use an acetate disc which can be in any colour to support the lace as the floppy lace doesn't do justice to itself when lying flat on the bottom of the UFO. I use UHO or Bostick all purpose adhesive to stick the lace on the outer and inner edge to the acetate. There must be a hole of 3cm cut in the centre of the disc. Let dry and then comes the tricky bit. Quite hard to describe but I'll do my best. Imagine the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock lines on the acetate disc. Bend the acetate with the lace inside so that 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock meet, put your index finger along the 12 or 6 o'clock line, depending on being right or left handed and carefully bend the acetate around your finger so that it is bent in quarters, making sure that the acetate is not creased just bent. Put the 6 -12 o'clock bend into the UFO and edge the other 3 and 9 bends in and gradually tease the acetate into shape by putting your fingers into the small hole at the centre and pulling the bends out. Being acetate it wants to straighten and it helps you as much as it can. Then cut a small piece of sticky back plastic and stick over the small hole to attach it to the UFO. So much easier to demonstrate than explain. I hope this helps and the second one is always easier :-) - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 02, 2003 8:47 PM Subject: [lace] Advice, please, on the donut candle holders One of my students bought a candle holder which I can best describe as a ring doughnut shape. She has finished the lace and came asking for advice as to how the lace and glass/plastic holder are best put together. She had decided that the lace alone was too limp and had cut a ring of felt to put behind it, but didn't like the effect. The felt hadn't helped to support the lace a lot anyway, and we all agreed that the glass needs to remain see-through. If just the lace is put in, it lies against the lower curve of the glass, a lot of its beauty is lost and it moves around. Another student thought that the sample one at the suppliers fair had a piece of acetate behind it, big enough to hold the lace up in the widest part of the curve, but we couldn't work out how to get a large ring of stiff acetate through the small hole in the base. If this is the right way to use the holder, is the lace sewn to the acetate to keep it central? The same problem of getting it through the hole would apply if the lace itself was stiffened enough to be self-supporting and lace alone would still lay in the bottom of the holder. The lace would look best if it was held against the top curve of the glass, but that would only be possible with glue. Have any arachnids used these candle holders, or closely studied how they are meant to be used? All ideas would be greatly appreciated. My student is so proud of her lovely piece of lace, which has made the difficulty in mounting it doubly disappointing.

(snip) The lace would look best if it was held against the top curve of the glass, but that would only be possible with glue. (snip) Jacquie If you were to consider the 'donut' to be a 'mold', and wet the lace - put it wrong side *up* *in the mold* - and let it dry that way - does the lace have enough 'body' to retain the curve ? Or would it require a weight of some sort to hold it down ? Which would, of course, increase the time for the lace to dry . . .
