Dear Linda, Jane and Liadain
Thanks for letting me knowing this. Nice that some of my old arachne friends
noticed it.
But a little note, i dont make lace anymore.
Also Jane! i dont need an extra copy, i had one send for me, when the
article was published, but thanks for the offer anyway!
This month i also made a projekt for the magazine, a lit for a sewing
basquet, wich i call Marie Antoinettes Mobcap.
Its a domeshaped lit with embroidered roses and forgetmenots edged with a
nice cotton lace- hence the name mobcap, because it reminds me a little of a
mobcap. The magazine wanted me to make some projekts for the readers. A
purse is in my mind two, when i get more time.........

Here is a message which I am forwarding (with permission) from Sue Fink, a
lace maker in New Zealand. It was originally sent to the list for lace
makers, ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Hurray for Bjarne!

I am sure that the name Bjarne Drew will mean something to a lot of the
longer standing Arachnids! Bjarne makes reproduction costumes from the
17th and 18th century and also the lace to go on them (which was where
Arachne came in!) Issue 56 of the Australian magazine Inspirations has a
lovely article about Bjarne and shows some of his costumes and also a
picture of him at his pillow.
It was lovely to read the article and realise that though Bjarne has
disappeared from our ken, he is still happily making his costumes.
