[lace] children's Lace

2013-07-16 Thread Anna Binnie
In our discussion about teaching children we forgot to mention social 
media like Facebook.


Last year shorty after I was elected President of my Branch of the 
Australian Lace Guild, I set up a state Facebook page as an outreach 
tool. Go out to the market place where the young hang out. Most of my 
regulars are people like me but at a recent craft fair I told the young 
ones to find us on Facebook and the affirming looks were great and our 
'likes' jumped.


Yesterday I used it to affirm the show results for 2 children who do not 
even live in my state. I offered their teacher to put up the winning 
entries on Facebook. She sent me photos of the winning entries and up 
they went with a bit of a buzz and affirmation from the State Facebook 
friends.

We are all part of a very small world even if distances between us are 
the size of a planet

THanks Lorelei,  What charming patterns!  I ended up looking through the
whole gallery.  There are some neat BL pieces done from children's
drawings - really cool!  And lots ofother simple patterns.

Fun!

easier without huge piles of snow everywhere.

 Recently someone was asking about patterns for children.  I came across
 these
 today.  They might give you ideas.

Hi Lorelei,

Thank you. A number of very useful ideas and possibilities here for anyone 
teaching young people. It is quite easy and useful to use their own drawings 
as well as keeping the youngsters (and also older beginner-students) fully 
engaged.


Happy lace making,

Joepie
