Years ago I bought 'Handmade Lace and Patterns' by Annette Feldman
(1975). It is a strange book, while the history of lace chapter is
traditional, all the patterns are restricted to crochet, knitting and
tatting.
At that time I collected pictures with paintings of lacemakers, making
friends
Hello SWAT-spiders
With christmas we are asked to do something with our hobbies at work.
Of course that's a lace demo / have-a-go by me. But it might be nice to

Dear Jeri,
Thank you so very much for calling this to our attention. Sure wish there
were more pictures. After my dull work today, I rewarded myself by looking
through the pictures and downloading some of them as very fine examples of the
art. I am up to page 8 of 21. Will we be able
Thanks Jeri for a most interesting browse.
What a shame to see these items being sold off from Collections. I guess

Well, I wont be able to do much lace making over the next 2 weeks as I am
supervisong TEE (final year) exams so have spent the last week making my
first piece of lace for the Arachne Card Exchange. I am pleased at how it
has turned out and will add the pricking to the Arachne Exchange pages soon.
I'd pay $200 for that! I think my pocket snake is sitting on top of my

Well, with many thanks to Ilske and Ann-Marie, I have found that my lovely
picture of a mother teaching her daughter Lacemaking is by an English
painter Samuel Barling Clarke painted around 1860.
I thought she looked Victorian and the bobbins were spangled, indicating
an English background.
