Re: [lace] RE: What Christmas lace are you making?
Hi, Robin. I'd love to see photos of your snowflakes and the TARDIS and the weeping Christmas angel. I don't even know what a TARDIS is! Maybe you could post them on Flickr.

[lace] Tardis
Tardis stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space. From the outside it looks like an old fashioned British Police Box - a shelter in which foot patrol police officer could shelter and from which members of the public could phone the police directly, long before the advent of the mobile phone. The Tardis is used by Dr Who (just known as The Doctor), a famous science fiction programme on TV which started in 1963 and is still going strong today, aimed just about anyone aged from 5 to 500. The Tardis used for travelling through time and space, and it's very much bigger on the inside than on the outside. If you want to refer to somewhere in which you can fit more than you think you could, we often say it's like the Tardis. Think you'd have trouble finding anone in the UK who doesn't know who the Doctor is and what the Tardis is. All the information is on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TARDIS including photos. I find the programme quite scary, but them I'm a wimp. A lot of the Doctor's adversaries would make good subjects for lace.

[lace] Holiday Exchange
Season's Greetings to All! What a lovely surprise to receive Sallie O's lace card in the mail today! She created a white bell with gold gimp in a gold bangle; it's a Springett pattern. The metallic gimp ends are cleverly concealed in gold beads representing the bell clapper. Note to self--another invisible finishing method! The bangle was enclosed in a card she made--die cut motifs on the outside a special Christmas sentiment by Lucinda Franks on the inside. It's hanging in my So. Fla. studio (bedroom #3) because we have no tree. Thank you Sallie!! This was a fun experience I'm so glad I joined the exchange this year. I'm looking forward to the full display on Jenny's site as it sounds like there is quite a variety of holiday ornaments this season. Getting into the holiday spirit when it's 82* the palm trees are swaying requires some imagination so I'm glad to start celebrating now that I have Sallie's bell.

[lace] Another Holiday Exchange Thank You
Hello All! Earlier this fall, I was searching for a way to share the little lace pattern that I used for my exchange piece so I asked Arachne. Kim Davis graciously sorted out the copyright issues obtained permission from both Marji Suhm the Lace Museum to share the Scania Lace ljusgull (shining gold) pattern for the purpose of the Arachne Holiday Exchange. The pattern appears in Skansk Knyppling, The Freehand Lace of Southeast Sweden prepared by Marji Suhm for the Lace Museum, Sept. 2003. I've been fascinated by this lace jumped at the chance to own the booklet when I saw it in Sacramento. For this lace, the devil is definitely in the details! There's a bit of a learning curve when tensioning with edge pins alone. Thanks to Kim, Ms. Suhm the Lace Museum, all Arachneans will be able to give it a try.

[lace] Heather Billington - Point Ground Lace book
Re: Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 08:14:50 -0600 From: Sue Babbs suebabbs...@gmail.com Subject: [lace] Heather Billington - Point Ground Lace book As there are so few lace books being accepted by publishers now that many of us are resorting to self-publishing, with the attendant problems highlighted in Sue Babbs email. I have found the best form of advertising is to offer my books to lace societies for review in their magazines. Following on from that, it would be useful if the societies receiving these copies would each keep a list of the books they review together with details for contacting and ordering from self-publishers. If this happens the lace world will soon become aware of these lists and it will become much easier to be able to trace and order a particular title. If you wish have new books written you need to support the authors, and making it easier to source the books will be a great help. Best wishes to all who are designing lace and writing books and those who are buying them Alex - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] New Book on Embroidered Lace
I have just come home from the last Lace Day for NSW Lacemakers and apart from being able to relax since I'm no longer President of the Branch, I had a wonderful surprize which I simply must share. Margaret Stephens one of our best needle lace teachers has just produced a book on Embroidered Lace, specifically Reticella. It is simply lovely with full working instructions, can't wait to start working the samples. And they are in colour not all boring white. How very exciting and both modern and traditional. The book is called 'Embroidered Lace' and if this is your thing please contact Margaret on mar...@stephensonline.com.au Oh the book costs $30 Australian. from Anna in a very rainy/monsoonal Sydney summer storm - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
