[lace] Lace Patterns-Value

Devon et al, misery loves company--this issue is not exclusive to lace! Cross stitch, needlepoint, surface embroidery, beading etc.--just ask any teacher, designer or publisher. Plenty of angst. Regarding instructions, many lace "patterns" don't seem to include them! This is different

Re: [lace] Lace Patterns-Value

I wonder what the average amount of time is for designing a pattern? When we ask people to contribute a pattern to a project are we essentially asking for 50 hours of their time? At a rate of say, $10 an hour, is it the same as soliciting $500 from people or asking them to provide over a week a

[lace] Lace Patterns-Value

I have always been interested in the sort of disconnect in the lace world between the amount of effort that it takes to design a bobbin lace pattern and the amount of value that is associated with that. Simply designing and making a piece is just the first step. Designing a pattern is really

Just wanted to say that my DD has updated my website with more free patterns, some of which you may not have seen before, including a teapot that was on the cover of the British Lace magazine years ago. I noticed there are a few pinholes missing on the steam, probably because the pattern was

Can anyone tell me whether the prickings for the patterns in the Knypplerskan books are still available, and, if so, from where? I have the books (parts I and II which were bound together and part III) and many of the prickings, which I purchased from Mace and Nairn in the seventies. Now I would

Re: [lace] Lace patterns

These patterns on the whole are very easy to draft from the photographs. I remember they were on sale when OIDFA were in Brighton, many years ago, and one look at the price very quickly convinced me that I would just carry on drafting any that I wanted to work. This also has the advantage

[lace] Lace Patterns to fit garments (such as collar shapes)

Some lace collectors have purchased lovely collars, only to find they do not fit over any existing garments in their wardrobes. How nice that lacemakers can custom-make a collar to fit. About 15-20 years ago, Radmilla Zuman taught a class at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York City

RE: [lace] Lace patterns

Reminds me of how Ulrike Loehr structured her Maikaefer, flieg!. The first patterns have lots of instructions, the latter less and less. I try to encourage my students to draw their own route-maps when they find a pattern with too little instructions. Consider it a phase in learning levels. I

My first learning patterns came with no information at all, just the pricking. I had lessons each week for 2 hours, but of course my time was rarely more than 10 or maybe 15 overal, and when I got home I might struggle on a bit. I found that by printing out part of the pattern large I could

Dear Arachnids I always worry about the modern trend of making lace fillowing route map charts. This is only another form of 'making lace by numbers'. A true lacemaker is able to 'read a pricking', i.e. be able to look at a pricking and interpret what to do by looking at the relationship

Many years ago I saw a photo of a sea-star that looked as if a lacemaker had thought that it needed some decoration added. What do other arachneans think? http://www.scuba-equipment-usa.com/marine/MAY04/Vermilion_Biscuit_Star(Pentagonaster_duebeni).html Isn't nature full of surprises sometimes?
