I have to admit that when I went and bought a digital camera I went for
one which a friend had already bought and that she'd allowed me to try
out - we spent a lunch time playing with it when she got it and I
recogned that if I could learn to use it in just one hour it was the one
for me.
There's a copy of a book on ebay, described as:

I've just come back from a month in Australia, and had a wonderful time
catching up with kids, parents, friends etc. I've also brought back lots of

lacemaking, embroidery etc. and no doubt the odd UFO or

information about lace schools and the history of Czech lace. A search

The great thing about digitals is that you can

doilies were hurt in making this art?
Yes, definitely. If they're linen, let's also include a diatribe about
how many flax plants were killed to make the fibre ;-)

I use an optical camera but the problems with light angles are the same.
You need to make yourself aware of where the light is coming from. I have
found that side lighting my shots works best for lace. Then your head
doesn't make a shadow. I use cheap reflector lamps that I buy at a

La Encajera (Spanish lacemaking magazine) has a couple of issues with
lacemakers in bobbin lace. Issue No 6 has a simple mouse lacemaker with
pricking, Issue No 16 has a lacemaker on the back
OK since the subject of a bobbinmaker has been brought up.I was wondering
if anyone has ever seen or knows where to get a doll bobbin maker. I love
collecting dolls and think this would be a special treat for my collection. :)

Eastern Europe was actually one of the last strongholds of real hand-made lace in
the early 20th century. I have a fascinating portfolio of designs dated 1925,
Dentelle de l'Europe Centrale, which has some Austrian designs from the Wiener
Werkstatte but is dominated by Czechoslovakian lace. The

are much more likely culprits. In fact, you could make a very good argument
that capitalism sustained lace, by encouraging the trade that carried it

Hi everyone
This is an addition to the advice to use the timed shutter release, if
trying to eliminate the shadow of the photographer from the image - you
can set the timer, and hold the camera over the lace, rather than trying
to prop the camera on something, and the lace as well
