Subject: [lace] Seven Competition Visitors Award
I have just had an e-mail from one my friends and students, Jill Harward, an
Arachne lurker, to say she is surprised to discover that her exquisite
Seven
Years of Plenty Milanese lace entry into the Lace Guild's Seven competition
has won the Visitors Award.
I am not at all surprised, as it is an amazing piece of lace based on a
traditional English corn dolly. There is now a photo of it added to the
Seven
Competition Gallery on the Lace Guild web site. Click on it to enlarge it;
every
single grain of wheat is made separately with a fine rolled edge.
She started it on the design soon after she won the John Bull Trophy in the
Myth or Mystery competition three years ago, and she worked on it steadily
until it was finished early this year. There was then much consultation
with Pat
Read, myself and a whole class full of other students as to what fabric she
should mount it on and what frame to use, as it is a big piece of lace which
only just crept into the size restrictions.
I know she won't 'blow her own trumpet' but I am happy to do it for her.
Thank you to everyone who voted for her!
