[lace] Re: Drawing on Right Side of Brain
Mark, If you want to 'read and lace' at the same time try 'talking books'. A friend mentioned it to me and I love it, if you come to a 'need to think about this bit' place in the lace just put the book on pause.

Re: [lace] Re: Drawing on Right Side of Brain - was:Teachers
I have a sister who is left-handed, and she is one of the most creative people I know. She has always "thought outside the box", before that expression and concept became the buzz. However, a number of my ancestors were artists. They were all women, incidentally. (The men seem to have been mostly engineer types!!). Now, my sisters and I between us have six daughters and three sons. All but one of the girls is artistic, and every one of them outshines us in their talent! And... none are left-handed. The boys aren't artistic at all... one is in banking, one is a building contractor, and one is an airline pilot. So in answer to your question, Sherry... I think there are other things that determine our interest and success in various pursuits. The qualities that are associated with being left-handed don't hurt though!! My sister used to have a T-shirt that read, "If Right-handed people think on the left side of their brains, does that mean that Left-handed people are the only ones in their right minds?" funny...

As a leftie also, I will say that I find it fairly easy to follow written instructions (unless it involves housework) I like the message on Clay's sisters teeshirt too! For those of you who are not left handed I say this. Don't try to understand us, you'll never manage it. it's a left thing you know!

Re: [lace] Re: Drawing on Right Side of Brain - was:Teachers
Hello All, sorry being so quiet but I am very busy at the time, but to this point I will tell you my experience. A bit more than two years ago I was lucky to get two design students to teaching lacemaking. The one was a glass designer and couldn't find a job so she tried to do something else and hoped with lacy things to make her living. She came regularly and started from the bginning on. She was quicker as other I had as students were. And after a while I remarked that she is left handed. So I got a shock and asked why she told me not immediately. She answered oh it's no problem I try to think things in the other direction. But it doesn't work with winding bobbins. So I learned for myself to do it as left handed and said her next time. Everything was ok now. I remarked that she didn't have own ideas and wasn't very creative, but she liked to learn more. When her husband came back from Spain where he worked for several years they moved outside of HH and so she couldn't come any longer. A few weeks later another young lady studiing textile design came to me to learn lacemaking. It was in october and she had the idea to make lace on her diploma work, which must be finished in january. She was pregnant and want marry a few weeks later. We started with the beginning stiches and worked out structures and so on. She was so quick and so creative. The diploma work was a piece of cloth starting with the underwear than the dress and a coat all this in one piece. And on each part more or less bobbin lace. Each part has another sort of tissue so the lace had to fit in structur and thickness of thread to it. The lace parts she drawed were nearly unworkable. But I tried very hard to explain her and we stated with the original. (I helped with working but you don't tell anybody, please psst) And we managed to be ready in time. She gave birth to her baby and I went to Australia. Coming back several weeks later she foned me and told me that her dress will be shown in museum and invited me to the vernisage. She was right handed as I am. Ilske from warm and sunny Hamburg in Germany Am 08.04.2009 um 17:41 schrieb Mark, aka Tatman: Sherry meant for this to go to the lace list as well.

Re: [lace] Re: Drawing on Right Side of Brain - was:Teachers
To Ilske and everyone Of course we won't tell ;) Thank you for the stories! I do not know if this is right or left brained or handed - but I taught myself to make lace with my left hand only, while talking on the phone, so I could hold the telephone in my right hand to ear. It is a handy talent if, for instance, one has to wait 'on hold' for an office call, then time isn't wasted waiting if a pin or two can be gained. I am right-handed for most things, lefty for others. And scatter-brained :p On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 8:05 AM, Ilske Thomsen < ilske-peter-thom...@t-online.de> wrote: > (I helped with working but you don't tell anybody, please psst) > > -- Bev in Shirley BC, near Sooke on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
