Hello  All,
thank you very much, Aurelia.
I love needlelace and I'm looking forward to following your lessons.

Best Regards

 As every now and then one of us spiders writes something wistful
 about wanting to make needle lace, I thought it might be nice
 actually to do something about it. I have posted the first
 installment of Needle Lace in Five Easy Lessons on my blog, which
 you can access at:  http://aurelove.blogster.com.  Tell me what you
 think.

 The announcement of name change in UK appeared in this issue - #55, p. 2.  
 Perhaps that is because there is already a magazine named Inspirations in 
 England?

This 'name change' didn't sound right to me so I have just had a quick and 
certainly as far back as the year 2000 the Country Bumpkin magazine I have been 
buying in the UK is called Classic Inspirations.  I think I might be right in 
saying that there is a cross stitch style embroidery magazine called 
'Inspirations' (I'm not very interested in those), but if it's the one I'm 
thinking of, 
that has also been on sale here for years.

But I agree with the rest of you that have seen them, the Country Bumpkin 
publications are way ahead of most magazines.

Re: [lace] Halas lace flower on ebay

2007-09-24 Thread Ilske Thomsen

Hello Kate and all others,
In the pice on ebay we can't see the three fishes because they aren't 
in it.  In former time they didn't have this sign for their products.
After the lady who runs the manufactur in Kishkunhalas it could be an 
old piece from there. Those who have perhaps the wonderful 
book/calalogue the picture 469 shows their piece similar to this on 
ebay. You can find it also on their website

Greetings
Ilske

Dear Lacers,
The usual three fish symbol is not worked into the flower on ebay. The whole 
petals appeared to me to be fish. It is better to have the lace in your hand 
than in a photograph. Thanks for all the lacers who wrote to me.

Hi Kate, and others...

I have the beautiful book, Halaisi Csipke (Halas Lace), but don't know much 
about the lace except what I have read in the book.  I don't see any usual 
three fish symbols, but I'm sure it's because I don't know what to look for!  
Would someone who has the book please tell me where to look?  I'd love to have 
this mystery solved!

On the other hand, I thought each of the petals of the eBay flower looked like 
a fish!

Re: [lace] Halas lace flower on ebay

2007-09-24 Thread Annelore Stone

Hello All,

I visited the museum at Kiskenhalas  around 10 years ago and purchased a 
flower and a butterfly.  You can see the 3 overlapping fish on the lower 
right side of the butterfly.  They are worked in a circle.  On the left 
lower side in the same area is a design worked in a circle.  At first glance 
you do not notice the 3 fish.  They are no fish on the flower, and I was 
told that they do not put them on flowers.  I understand that the flowers 
are often used for weddings, etc., and no fish are worked into that lace.  I 
would have liked to purchase more pieces, but they are rather expensive!

I expect that many of you know that the Australian lace maker Marie Laurie 
wrote a teaching manual on Halas lace.  It is available from Lacis
