re: [lace] Christmas lace

Hi Sue and All, I too got out all the wonderful lace from previous exchanges. All are fabulous! I put them on the Christmas tree and they look wonderful and bring so many Arachne memories to mind. One I am curious about. I think it came from Alice in Oregon. It's BL and looks like a small ci

Thanks so much, Janice, for generously sharing your patterns. I know it’s a lot of work. The Seasonal triptych is so cheerful. I’ve made your Halloween cat and hope to work it again in a thinner thread, after I’ve made it through the holidays. Mine was a bit too solid. I wish my holiday preparat

RE: [lace] Christmas Lace Star finished

Hi Sue and Fellow Arachnids, Thank you very much for sharing your lovely work with us. The Christmas comet is beautiful as are the other pieces on your photo album and I so agree with you about colours in the dark ages. Bright colours were difficult to achieve and would only be worn by the rich

Re: [lace] Christmas Lace Star finished

Yes, I wanted to make the wise men have richer looking clothes - hence the purple, and gold in them. The Virgin Mary is often depicted with blue and rose garments - sometimes white, but I was trying also to get a balanced effect in the piece. I also used some slubby silk threads in the meadow

Re: [lace] Christmas lace gifts/French book

Hi Janice I think your book title translates on "Of (about) the fish crisis and (to do with) the golden age of lace" - quite a few laces were developed to give some income to fisherfolk at a time when the primary resource of fishing wasn't viable. Rosaline lace from the Netherlands comes to mind. P
