[lace] Bayeux books
Tamara, Thanks for the quick and full of information, response. I will look into purchasing the Nobecourt book. I do hate to spend quite so much on postage on a book I can only use for a couple of weeks. I found earlier, the same situation while checking into renting books on tape and getting them here as I enjoy listening while working on lace or spinning yarn. I had been very spoiled in being able to get such a wide variety at our local libraries in MD before moving here. What I found was that between the postage and rental costs I would have spent 2/3 the cost of purchasing the book/tape. The one remaining library here has about half a dozen "romances" on tape (not my style) and that's it. The most current book I pulled off the shelf was printed in 1967. The government is so broke that there is not much of a budget for the library. Such a shame for the local population. And such withdrawal for one who loves to haunt libraries. I'm currently working on a Bucks Pt. lace called The Bride. I had started this last year but between a senior going through her last year of high school, and then off to college, two other daughters at home and a move to Guam it got put on the back burner. Now I've pulled it out and made about a yard and half of it. Time to move on. I have made some Bloemwerk in the meantime too, but I found the La Dentelle de Bayeux while going through my shelves this afternoon and have decided that is where I'd like to head for now. By the way, Tamara, do you sleep? I received your message at 4:30 pm on Wed. afternoon my time. That's 1:30 am on Wed. morning for you on the East Coast of the U.S. I appreciate the quick response but you could have waited until the morning Dona in Asan, Guam - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Bayeux books
I'm interested in working on some Bayeux lace. I'm currently living in Guam and have no teacher resources here. I have the book, Dentelle de Bayeux, La...Fouriscot, Mick & Salvador, Myl&eagrave;ne... 1999...French... 45p... Color photographs, diagrams, color-coded technical diagrams, and prickings, and while the diagrams are good, I'd like to have another source of instruction to go along with it, preferably in English since it's been awhile since I've had to use my French. I am a member of IOLI and I have looked at their resources to borrow. There is a book on Bayeaux, Bayeux Lace, Yesterday's Lace for Today... Nobecourt, Maria-Catherine& Potin, Janine... 1990... English,French... 78p... Progression from beginning through advanced... 17:4,Sum96-97. Does anyone know anything about this book? Would it be a good second source to work with. Would it be worth the price of Priority Mail to get it here? Media mail takes anywhere from 2-3 months to arrive here in Guam. Are there any other books/resources that you would recommend? I'm also not adverse to purchasing a resource if useful. Are there any videos on Bayeux? Any information/insight would be appreciated.
