Re: [lace] First Lace Pillow
Could it be that the lace teacher had to pay postage on the goods and passed that on? Joepie -Original Message- From: The Lace Bee Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2011 9:14 PM To: Arachne Subject: Re: [lace] First Lace Pillow I still have my first lace pillow from back in 1990. It is an 18 SMP polystrene which my lace teacher sold to me for £8 together with a cover and a cover cloth. It was only when I went to my first Springett's fair that september did I realise that I could have bought direct from them and got it cheaper. I was a little annoyed because the money to buy the equipment had not come from the teacher - it infact came from our employer who gave us £500 for supplies and books. We were supposed to borrow from the equipment library then if we wanted the equipment we bought it and the money was used to replace it with new stuff. Because our teacher didn't work for the company but her husband did I think a couple of the people invovled saw a chance to make a little money. Anyway back to my pillow. It was a lovely shape to start learning on because the dome was really high. This meant that the bobbins hung well on the pillow and being high they didn't need to have short threads to prevent them hitting the table. I loved that pillow. I used it every day for a year. Unfortunately the centre is virtually distroyed. One of my most prized pillows is by Rosemary Robinson (it's her large fan pillow where the centre is circular and moves within the main pillow) not just because of the design but because she always layers felt onto her polystrene so if it does start to break up it will be kept in place.

Re: [lace] First Lace Pillow
No there was no postage, all the money was provided by the company and they even reinbursed the teacher for her petrol to collect the eqipment and her time. The idea was that the company basically subsidised our learning of the skill. It was a wonderful time though because each year we had a massive craft fair of things made by people who worked for the company and they hired the local town hall to show everything off to both employees and members of the public. You could exhib anything from home made wine to carpentry.

[lace] Bobbin lace commission
Dear Spiders I have just received this from a fashion design student in London. Is there any one out able/willing to help her? I have pointed out that BL is a time consuming process which means that any commission will be expensive. Brenda Dear Brenda, After I visited your webpage, I can feel your passion on lacemaking. I am writing to ask if you make bobbin lace with specific designs. I am a MA Fashion Design and Technology student of London College of Fashion. I am currently planning for my final MA collection. I really appreciate the delicacy and subtlety of bobbin lace. I am interested in applying bobbin lace into my designs. At the moment, I am developing graphic images which can then be integrated into lace designs. Since I cannot do the lace by myself, I am looking for any professional bobbin lacemakers with good craftsmanship could plait the laces for me. So, do you make laces? Or, do you have any of your students are interested the above matter? I am not asking for sponsorship, so I will pay for the handcrafts. I sincerely hope that you could help. I am sure the outcomes would be amazing and positive in promoting the aesthetics of bobbin lace. I am looking forwards to hearing from you. Thank you very much for your attention!
