Hi All, My fascination with the stitches used in Needle Lace has fueled my recent book buying spree. I also have been pouring over "Needlelace" by Pat Earnshaw ISBN #1-85391-158-5 which someone else mentioned as a good NL book. I got my copy from Holly Van Sciver (I think) a few years ago for

. . . and not only is Cynthia Voysey a marvelous photographer, but she is a fabulous lacemaker, and her needlelaces are a wonder to behold, they are so beautiful. I have pictures of a couple of them from a workshop that I took with her years (and years and years) ago. I should e-mail her, should

[lace] beads in lace?

I've seen beads in wire jewelry pieces, and I tried to put some on my linen pieces - is this sort of thing done at all, or am I committing sacrilege of some sort? ;-) And how do you do it, for either wire or linen? I tried putting them on a pair in the same way that's used for sewings, but then of
