Hello everyone, Jeri Ames in Maine USA asked: Do you like to have book reviews appear on Arachne, or would you prefer they be submitted for publication in various lace bulletins? I have one weakness, well I guess one of many. But the one weakness that I am talking about here is my love and appre

2004-09-19 Thread Jean Nathan
My personal opinion is that book reviews in magazines are fine, but they only give the opinion of one person from their own perspective and therefore they are very limited. Reference books like the Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches, Brenda's thread book and the Cook book have a specific purpose, and wi

[lace] How I spent my Sunday

Gentle Spiders, I spent a good portion of my Sunday driving... 280miles (ca 440km, I think) round trip, 70 of them on the Killer I-81, travelling to and from Richmond, to judge the lace for the State Fair of Virginia. But, as both I and my co-judge agreed, it was worth the trip; even if the oth

Hi Spiders, Thanks to all for the lighting & magnification suggestions. I've decided to put off buying an Ott light until I can actually get my hands on one and have a good look. Plus it's really a bit out of my budget at the moment. I'll also not worry about magnifier just yet. I went to Ikea o
