Not to confuse the issue, but.
For newbies and anyone who hasn't been there for awhile,
check out Lenka's wire lace. www.lenkas.com Necklace #3
looks to me very much like some of the Le Pompe patterns.

Just a quick note... I didn't win the paper string raffle :-(
but was so intrigued by the wonderful projects the Oregon
group did for the Pacific NW Lace Conference that I searched
until I found some. If anyone, like me, can't stand to live
without some, you can get it from Evelyn at [EMAIL
Because of all the kind notes of late, and because my name has come up
in the digests I wanted to just say thank you to all who have sent love
and
prayers, and let you all know I am here and doing well. I had Breast
Cancer
but it was caught early and I am now recovering from Chemo and
Susan,
I would recommend Acrylics as they dry into *literally* plastic. It would
flake off
before it would discolor thread. However I wouldn't paint the neck of the
bobbin and then it won't be an issue. NEVER use oils. Watercolor can be
used
if you use many coats of varnish. Something
Just a quick note to anyone who is interested. There is a brief article
and several pictures of wire lace in Ornament magazine (Spring 2005
issue), made by Silvia Ferdova. The article is entitled Gallery X,
Bratislava,
Slovaka. She is appearantly talented in many fiber arts, but the article
Just a note FYI,
I measured my pillows, and then ran right out to Target to get
some wreath boxes, and found that even though the plastic
boxes were labeled 22in. X 22in. X 6 in, because of the way they
fasten the inside measurement is 18 inches across. The brand
was Style Master. Will check

Howdy all,
I finished a garter not long ago for my sons' dear bride, and it is a
variation of the one in Bridget Cooks Weddings, Christenings and
Anniversaries. I think I enlarged the pattern a bit too. At any rate,
this is the second one I've made, and for the first one I went around

Thanks to everyone for their replies to my question about
Fantasy Flowers. (Also thanks to Sue B. for her generous
remarks about my bobbins). ANYWAY 2 things, first I picked
up a new magazine called Hallmark (yes it appears to be
related to the card company) that is perhaps a cross between
While shopping for some garden flowers, I came across a
Tatted Fern. Very cute! About 12 inch fronds with 1/3 inch
flat half circles (with ruffled outer edges) alternating up the
stems. No botanical name, but was not a Maidenhair (Adiantum).
Anyway, a must have for all us gardening tatters :-)
Bev,
One of the advantages to age-related memory loss, (yes there is
at least one) is that I am able to re-read my favorite books every
few years because I forget enough of the story to make it a joy
to re-read them!

Just have to pass on a true story. I visited a Danish lady who
lives hereabout, who made nothing but Tonder Lace. She is a
play it strickly by the rules, everything must be perfect sort,
and her finished lace was amazing. (Incidently her husband made
breathtaking lace also). Anyway, I
Thanks Rose Marie for mentioning my bookmark booklets.
Anyone who is interested, just e-mail me privately.
There are lots of beautiful bookmarks out there, and I
have seen and made many. My favorite was one by
Alison Dews, (who has many unique patterns), and it
inspired me to try designing some

Just had to reply to this one. I recently finished a garter,
(one of Bridget Cooks) for a dear friends daughter's wedding.
Her dress was candlelight which is a bit like ivory. The only
thread I had in that color was a fine cotton, and the only gimp
a sample spool of surgeon's silk. It turned
