Australian Lacemakers are very fortunate to have Sandi attend our
AGM in Brisbane, Queensland where she conducted a full week of
workshops. She is also conducting a further week for the locals in
Brisbane this coming week. The unfortunate bit is that I can't make it
to Queensland for eith
T, before you rush to buy the "Alphabet Inspirations" book, I'm pretty sure the
author is Sandi Woods, not Louise Colgan. Both are great designers of Milanese
patterns, but they are different. I have Sandi's second book, but it's packed
away. I'm pretty sure it's called "Alphabet Inspirations

Thanks a million (or, to be precise, $26.95 +shipping ). The book is listed
on Holly's site as being by Colgan. It looked somewhat familiar (I have Sandi's
book, too ) but, since onl
The book mentioned here is by Sandi Woods, not Louise Colgan. The pieces
are stunning. The techniques used are a bit different, there is a lot more
in and out of pairs. I have the book and just love it!

Oh, and Sherry... Since you're so much "into" lace angels, you might be
interested in another book, also available on Holly's site:
Angels in Russian Tape Lace, by Hanne Sonne.
They're all somewhat similar in overall shape, with differences in fillings and
head-shapes. I haven't seen the book m

Me, too! I was totally unaware of Colgan's Alphabet Inspirations book. Since
I'm a great fan of Colgan's Milanese designs and techniques, I've printed out

was speaking of was just one angel. I saw the picture of it years ago finished.
I believe at the time I might have even written an email to Louise. Don't know

Yes, Sherry, I just printed out _www.vansciverbobbinlace.com_
(http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com/) (USA) book list yesterday. She sells
all of the
Colgan books. There are at least two additional ones, but no mention of
Milanese angel patterns:

Yes - that sort of thing is appalling.
To avoid it, I keep my computer's volume control muted all the time,

Does anybody know if Louise has any other lacing books besides the fan one and
the Milanese book? I saw an angel that was designed by her on the internet once
and I would so love to get this pattern. Since the angel isn't in either of the
two books I have mentioned I wonder if she has another bo
I went on Arachne webshots to look at the fans but I was deafened by the
horrible loud ad music attached which was very offputting, is this something
new? And can anybody tell me how to get rid of it I tried with no success

Hi Lucie & Jeri,
Just a note to say that I agree with you, Lucie, absolutely,
and that your
comments are excellent. I think you make many good points,
right down to the
important parallel with biodiversity.

I've just uploaded a couple of images to my album on Arachne webshots.
The first is Louise Colgan's Bedfordshire fan from her book of fans. I

preferred it. I made in burgundy Madeira Tanne 40. I like my lace to be

In some ways, digital libraries are a very good thing. In others, not.
Not everything ever published will ever be digitised. Only what someone,
somewhere will choose to find time, money and computer space to copy.
Electronic media are fragile in their own ways and they do need
electricity to work
