[lace] Mistakes

Dear Arachnids At a Honiton workshop I attended I was working on a particular technique and asked my tutor Lauretta Clark if the section was OK (fully knowing that it could have been better). She said 'Can you live with it?'. Of course I remade that section. Now I've let the cat out of the bag and

[lace] OIDFA Bulletin Jan-Mar

If you are impressed with the design and lace of Katsuko Sakagami look at her web site www.kakolace.jp I had the good fortune to meet her at her atelier in Kyoto in 2007. She is an astounding lady and lacemaker. Her dream was for OIDFA to have a congress in Japan. You

Re: [lace] Starting and finishing

Wangling...FudgingCall it whatever you want to, but sometimes it's the most feasible solution to a mixup. I did it recently on a piece of Binche that used very fine threads. One pair went astray, and to go back to find it with that thread would have resulted in broken threads. I added a p

Hello Diane and everyone It is really a lovely issue. There is a small photo of the front cover, and list of contents here: http://www.oidfa.com/text/toc%201%202009.htm On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 3:17 PM, Diane Zierold wrote: > I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed the current issue of the OIDFA

[lace] OIDFA Bulletin Jan-March

I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed the current issue of the OIDFA Bulletin. The articles are all very interesting. There is much on the upcoming congress in Japan, and interesting patterns. On the cover (and interior) is the most wonderful lace panel designed and made by Katsuko Sa

Re: Re: [lace] Lace teachers

Clay, I couldn't agree with you more!!I had a lady from another state in Australia ask me to teach her Bucks - and she was very surprised when I readily agreed. Her "teacher" in the other state had refused to teach her Bucks because "you're trying to run before you can walk". So I asked ho

Daphne, I made a mobile phone cover and taught it as a class at the 2007 Great Lakes Lace Guild workshop. It is a matter of making a pouch out of felt that works with your mobile phone. Then tat a strip(looks like a bookmark) that will then be applied to the full length. What I did was make the

Re: [lace] Lace teachers

The "conventional wisdom" about leaves and tallies is that you need to make 1,000 of them before you can do them consistently and without fear and trembling. That seems like an awful lot, but if you pick a project (such as a handkerchief edging) that has a good amount of leaves/tallies, by the

Re: [lace] Continuing from starting and finishing

When I first started trying to begin projects on my own I kept forgetting to take out the temporary pins, but once you have seen the slightly untidy results of that a couple of times it reminds you to take them out next time around. Also during my first couple of years I was often reluctant to w

RE: [lace] Continuing from starting and finishing

You may remember a while back that I asked for help in starting a square, my first project on my own without a book or a teacher? I am now pleased to know that what I have done so far (almost finished) has been fudged and wangled (didnt know the name for this!). Still as someone else said - it ha

[lace] Continuing from starting and finishing

Continuing from starting and finishing As far as I am concerned we all make lace for the love of it. I consider a piece of lace to be good if it looks good and is made so that it is suitable for its purpose. If carefully done the odd fudge/wangle will not show - so why worry. This is why I love ma

Sorry folks, one more clarification of the pattern raffle/drawing. What is on offer is two separate pattern sheets only, not a booklet (that is what I bought for me which is what gave me the duplicate patterns). So whoevers names, and there will be two, are drawn out in about 10 days time will

Re: [lace] Starting and finishing

Alex, I agree too, it's very unprofessional as a teacher not to offer all of your knowledge. If you have bright students who are interested in the subject there are bound to be times when they ask something you don't know. Providing you either make every effort to find out, or encourage th

Re: [lace] Starts and Finishes

Hi Daphne et al, I do realise that, for many people, lace-making classes - like any other adult education classes, I suppose - are not only for the sake of getting to grips with the subject matter; they are also a form of escapism, in that one goes out for the evening/afternoon/morning/whateve

Re: [lace] Lace teachers

Morning All Just to put in my 2 pennorth I started to teach myself around 3 years ago, from a book. the first piece of lace I produced was abysmal! But I was proud of it! I then joined a couple of Lace Groups and found that one of them had a class. I started going, my challeng
