Dear Friends mea culpa! When I saw Avital's message I thought I'd have a go! I've started to scan all my lace with a view to creating a web-site or updating my pages in the Lace Fairy Gallery, but I've never tried to upload anything before!
The pieces are "Dabbling with Design" - my first ever design that was based on one of the edgings in the Luton Lace Dealers Pattern book. I took the edging and made a mirror image of the head-side, then "tinkered" with it a bit to make a bookmark pattern. The version in the album was made in madeira 30 variegated with DMC perle 5 gimps. In a way the yarn is really a bit too thick for the design, but it does make a fairly firm bookmark that can be used without a plastic sleeve (makes it good for paper backed books). I've also made it in madeira 40 with embroidery floss for the gimps - that was the version I "exchanged" in the bookmark exchange - I don't have a picture of that, but you can see it on the "Lace Fairy" site. "T is for Tim" A square to fit in one of the plastic coasters available for lace etc. I made it for my husband when we had our bedroom fitted out with new wardrobes. Decorations are lilac, blue & turquoise. I based the shape of the T on a clipart image and added the mayflowers because I like them, I can make them & they seemed to fit! The Swan The third is Tamara's Swan that I made in silver & white for my brother's silver wedding. Arachne members helped with advice on how to mount it. I can honestly say it's the piece of lace I've learned the most from making (including those unhappy tasks - "undoing" and "give up & start again"!). I'm looking forward to making her waterlillies when I can find the time. Tamara - thanks again for the pattern Viv From: "Avital Pinnick" Subject: [lace] Webshots album > I was very surprised (and pleased) to see that the Webshots album already has some photos in it! > > http://community.webshots.com/user/arachne2003 > > I hope someone will tell us about the pieces in VivDewar's album. > > Avital - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
