Re: [lace] Miss Channer goes Chantilly
Another incredible piece of lace work! Thanks Julian for putting the pictures where we can all see them. And congratulations to David on finishing his Tonder piece (I'm green with envy at the skill and patience it must have taken) Beth in Cheshire, NW England Julian wrote: Following on from David's piece of Tønder I have now uploaded pictures of his latest project: Miss Channer's Mat goes Chantilly. http://www.margorsson.com/Miss_Channers_Mat_goes_Chantilly.html You may also be interested to know that on the Men n' Lace pages I have included information about a family of lacemakers - a husband wife and three sons from Estonia: Priit Halberg: http://www.margorsson.com/Priit_Halberg.html Thanks Julian - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Miss Channer goes Chantilly
Dear Alex, right now I'm very snowed under preparing to conduct Thurlow Weed's world premiere next Saturday and frankly my mind is on that rather than lace making techniques. What I can say off the top of my head is that Chantilly is far more than just black and half-stitch. I have incorporated the carrying of bobbins along with the gimps; larger Toender-like holes; far fewer twists than in Bucks Point; I also have no qualms about using Elwyn Kenn's looper technique when possible. In short my Miss Channer is quite a mixture. However, the finished result will be far more readily classified as Chantilly than Bucks Point. Back to arranging brass parts David I am very curious as to why working Miss Channer's mat in black with half stitch for the 'clothwork' areas should be called 'going Chantilly'. Surely you are just making Bucks Point using black thread. Bucks Point was frequrntly made using black thread and then the 'clothwprk' areas were invariably worked in half stitch. Please will you explain which techniques you are using make it Chantilly instead of Bucks Point.

Re: [lace] Miss Channer goes Chantilly
Oh dear ALEX I'm NOT into belittling anybody or their lace. I just make the stuff. Best wishes for making an excellent piece of black Bucks.
