Re: [lace] Exciting News - Angela ?
From Catherine Barley direct to Jeri, instead of Arachne:or Jean Mary Eke: I too have checked out these links. Can you please furnish us with more information about this prestigious award? From Jeri: I received a private reply to my original question (below) from a lacema ker in England. The Angela is Angela Brown, Chair of The Lace Society. Go to : _http://www.thelacesociety.org.uk/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=27Itemid=37_ (http://www.thelacesociety.org.uk/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=27Itemid=37) Angela Brown's lace design from William de Morgan Tiles reminded me that I have a book about his work. Often I mention the types of books in my library and list other related crafts. This means crafts that can inspire lace and embroidery designs! This is where our lace guilds, with limited library space and funds for books, usually fall short. Still hoping to find a sympathetic permanent home for my library, where the books will not be de-accessioned! Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center Written by Jeri to Arachne on March 25th: Googling yielded 2012 information for the award. I looked at the Heritage Crafts site, and it has not been updated recently. In this case, I looked at the award designation of Heritage Crafts Marsh Award and also at News.

Re: [lace] Exciting News - Angela ?
Yes, this is exciting news, Jean Mary. Guessing it was awarded on Saturday, March 23, based on meeting registration form on Heritage Crafts web site. Does Angela have a surname? Asking because some of us know more than one Angela in the international lace community. Googling yielded 2012 information for the award. I looked at the Heritage Crafts site, and it has not been updated recently. In this case, I looked at the award designation of Heritage Crafts Marsh Award and also at News.

[lace] Exciting News
G'day Friends, Had to pop down to Geelong tonight (100km) for the opening of the National Scarf Festival at the Wool Museum. My Toender Point Ground Lace scarf in Vietnamese silk won the Thematic Category (Rhythm of Life). It took about 4 months to make and was 2200 hours' work. It's up for sale at AUS $2000 - wonder if it will go? The organizers had gone round the Op Shops and bought up a heap of old LP records which they then bent at right angles. Each of the 250 or so scarves were then draped over a record which hung from the ceiling on a slender cord, to show it off to its best advantage. I was duly interviewed by the Geelong Advertiser newspaper and photos were taken. Not sure whether it will be in tomorrow's or Monday's issue. I didn't even know what the prize would be, but it turned out to be $100 cash plus a certificate which had been personalized on a CD label that was then stuck on to an old 45rpm EP record. Mine happened to be the David Bowie hit Amsterdam - appropriate some might say. I believe the exhibition runs till some time in August and would be well worth a visit if you can.

Re: [lace] Exciting News
Hi Bev, Thank you for your quick response. The colours are a delight even though it is difficult to see any detail. It also shows the hard work that always takes place behind the scenes at these shindigs, people do not always appreciate that especially if they have never been involved with exhibitions/competitions. Hopefully more detailed photographs will be forthcoming now the exhibition has opened.
