Happy New Year to You All.

up to a point: you CAN eat chocolate .. as long as it doesn't melt in
your hand .. G. should chocolate eaters
Happy New Year everyone.
I was sitting here at my computer catching up on the arachne posts and listening to
the t.v. when the announcer said that the next piece of music to be played from Vienna
(I was listening to the New Year Concert) was a piece by Strauss called The Queens

Hello Devon,
In my opinion the worth of machine-made lace is a very personel one. There
are pieces who take your breathe away. Have you ever been in Le Puy and
there in the museum ? There you found hundreds of old machine-made laces
they look not only for the first but also for the seond and third
Happy New Year to all! I've spent my first day of 2004 making lace so I'm off
to a good start. I'm working my way through the Nobecourt/Potin book on
Bayeux Lace, Yesterday's Lace for Today, and I've come across a question. How
do most of you handle lots of small, separate gimp rings? I've
I guess that an aesthetic criteria for judging machine made lace is still
emerging as well. The Battle of Britain panel is certainly the gold standard for
machine made lace. What makes it special?
I like it because I think it is very interesting visually. Along each side
are great landmarks of
Hi all:
Regarding the Battle of Britain panel, a few people have mentioned its
historical connection, but nobody has yet mentioned the huge difference
that may make in price. The Battle of Britain took place before the US
was involved in the war, so some may not understand its importance, or
then using a glue stick on the right side of
the pattern, stick it to x ray plate. You could use us
all the old xrays you had lying around or get waste
plates from the local hospital through contacts.
Hi Jan -
I think the situation is reversed now - you can get sticky film but can
you still get
Happy New Year to you all.
And a big thank you to all those who replied to my query - after reading all
the replies and taking a good look at both the pricking I'm about to start
and the one I had trouble with before, I've decided to stick with the
recommended thread, and if the trails are too

Machine lace is one of those things where the value is purely in the eye of
the beholder: supply vs. demand. There is no intrinsic value. It is just a
matter of what somebody is willing to pay for it. I haven't a clue, myself.
If only it were possible to get into eBay's sales records for

Do you work these rings with the gimp on a bobbin? I
Gentle Spiders,
I agree with most that has been said so far -- the overal design, the
precision of detail, the condition and the availability are probably
the main criteria in establishing a value of any piece of visual art,
and that includes machine-made lace. I might also, possibly, have a

Ouch! *What* a way to start the new year... :( My solution, however,
would have been exactly the same as yours
I had a similar experience a couple of years ago when I slipped on the ice on my way
to work one morning and demolished my right arm (and yes, I'm
right handed). I can empathise with your predicament, Patty.
I didn't do too much craft-wise for a few weeks excepty that I was in a cross-stitch

The net you mention sounds like the thread cover used for serger machines.
I use them to keep my serger threads in order.
Hi everyone
May I be among the last (of the time zones) to wish you all the best for
2004!
The new year is 1 hour old; we rang it in while watching a dvd - a
favourite animation, Monsters Inc ;)
Some neighbours let off fireworks; the clouds parted and the moon
shone clear and bright.
Happy
