Re: [lace] Oya reticella laces
Good morning All, I took the Council members class on Bibilla in Athens last year, because I love the Oya scarves they make. Not a good idea. As Diane said, its all in the tension. My round doierly is more like a basket, and I ended up with a bad shoulder for weeks. So I have made a Rosa Libre Edge to put on a scarf as a sort of Bobbin Lace Version of Rosa Libre. I will post a picture when it is finished. It needs a couple of Butterflies now.

I'm hoping to get a few tension pointers from some of the students of that class and finally have a good portable lace to make.

Re: [lace] Oya reticella laces
Good morning Avital, I think he only English in the on-line version is the names of the flower illustrations. I have not read the entire on-line version as I do not need it. I feel so priviledged to have the book and it is tranlsted in side by side colums. The article/illustrations in the J/A 1996 PIECEWORKS seem taken from the book ( with permission, I am sure!)) This issue has much more about origins and instructions.

RE: [lace] Oya reticella laces
Interesting thing about that article. Although the article is about needlelace oya, the full-page photo shows mostly tatted and crocheted oya!

Diane Zierold Lubec Maine Hi Spiders, I just read somewhere, probably in eBay where someone sells a 2 volume set about Turkish Oya. In Turkish, Oya simply means decoration or ornament, so the choice of weapon is left to the decorator.

The Turkish book link is very good but you have to go to the very end of the table of contents (left pane) to find the instructions and pictures, unless, of course, your reading knowledge of Turkish is very good... ;-) Avital There's an article in the last Piecework magazine on oya lace.

Re: [lace] Oya reticella laces
Dear Christina...well, first. no, I do not teach Needle oya.! ;-) I have two books on the subject and a couple of us are stumbling along. I have a friend, who was here on Sat, and she left with my book...Turkish/English version She sent me a link to site where the book, in Turkish, is printable Great pictures. too http://www.akmb.gov.tr/turkce/books/osmanlidangunoyalar/ It has good diagrams and some English. She has also found a lady in Ca who makes and sells and will send that link to me , also About a year ago i becamse interested and eventually thru ebay made contact with a gal in Istanbul, she is very fluent in English. Suzan (Caliskan) is lovely and thru her I bought the books I have. She sells strips of the needle oya and other Turkish hand work. on ebay. She also handles the thread that she said is used...I questioned that when it arrived, because of the texture, but my friend, Shay, said that she read the pieces are starched. So we are learning every day. You can go to Suzans ebay store,the link is http://stores.ebay.com/sunnymailbox . Christina, suzan is a lovely ,helpful lady. ...about 45 years old. Gentle, kind and well spoken. We have become fast friends...the name I use for her is Sunny...and she is! If you have access to PIECEWORK magazine (Interweave Press) two issues have very good articles about needle oya. Issue J/A 1996 page 22 and the current issue J/ F 2006 page 28. Both are informative in different ways and both have instructions.this lates issue explains how there are peopl buying the needle work of the ladies in the smallcommunities, especially since the 1999 earthquake, so they can make money 'for bread' i think both issues are available. I do not think reticella is related to the mid-eastern laces...Armeniam lace is and the needle oya is classed with Bebilla. it is prominant in most mid-eastern countries. i was so pleased to see you inquiry. Suzan has the book I bought ((she originally found it for me )..it is out of print. that is what started his friendship.She still lists it, occasionally.very expensive...but i am glad that I bit the bullet and got it. I have a second book on beaded oya, no English but great pictures. Jeri in Maine mentioned the two volume set that Suzan also has. it is a reference catalogue. I have not seen it. Oya can be needle, tatted, beaded and /or crocheted. The word itself means embellishment. please let me hear what you learn and I will forward any information the crosses my desk..

Re: [lace] Oya reticella laces
Gretchen Allgeier taught knotted needlelace and oya construction at the Hasbrouck Heights IOLI convention. She was even able to teach it left- handed (that may not matter to you, but it sure did matter to me!). She used to own the shop Beggar's Lace in Colorado, so maybe the current owner knows how to contact her. Robin P.
