RE: [lace] Reddish Spanish prickings

I should have said comparatively cheap - saffron is something I buy when I am in Spain, because it is still a lot cheaper there than in England. I know it has always been a labour intensive crop, but if you could use the residue to dye card, that sounds more like thrifty lacemakers! I take

[lace] Christmas card.

My Christmas card from Kathy Hensel arrived in the post this morning. A lovely point ground snowflake mounted ingeniously on a printed card. She had taken a card with a motive of about the same size and then mounted the lace motif over the printed motif. She then tied the points of the motif to

[lace] Re: Brazilian lace

Tess and spiders I think your question can make richer our list. And add to Jenny's fabulous list of lace's sites. The lace you send the foto is called renascença (Renaissance Lace) here in Brasil. Like the greater number of the laces here, it's arrived crossing the Atlantic Ocean. It's roots

[lace] Lace Card!

I received my card just as I was about to leave for a long weekend with my entire family! What a nice way to start the holiday season! Alice Howell made my card, and it is delightful! It is a set of four pieces, actually: A little Swedish Gnome family, all dressed in their colorful little

Jeri Ames wrote to me on the above subject and I tried to reply but my message was bounced back at me, it is my server Terra that often gets rejected by others which is a nuisance but is all I have, so I cannot get my message through in reply. Thankyou for the suggestions Jeri, but I have

[lace-chat] Dead duck

[lace-chat] Bobbins for raffle

What a disappointment, I only just got the digest that included the bobbin drawing today, November 24th. One day after the drawing. :-( I would have loved to be in this drawing. Please would Arachne members who are generous enough to offer a raffle allow time for us to receive the digests

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Used Car

OK, I thought I'd contribute to the volume of the lace-chat, so that the digest folk get their fix more frequently :) This is not new (at least not to me), but, aged or not, it's still true (as regards the car salesmen; who knows about old ladies g) From: S.D. It was a small town and the

[lace-chat] An update of an old song

Definitely a right-wing version, but it was sent to me by my definitely left-wing cousin (by marrige)... It's a *loud* one; you might want to click the volume a notch or two down (alternatively, cut the sound off entirely; the new! improved! text is printed on the left-hand side of the
