Spiders, I've been thinking about the 'thinking' laces and I suppose that what I love about lace making is the fact that I can do it if I want to drift and make lace (simple tape or simple torchon) or I can become engrossed if I want to make lace (such as floral bucks et al).
Other half asked, when we had only been together for a few months, why I had so many pillows and bobbins on the go and I simply replied that I ahve a piece of lace available for whatever mood or difficulty that I felt like doing. There were the practical reasons such as a smaller pillow for travelling and demonstrating, but the fun one's such as making on my 24" pillow or doing honiton. For me, honiton is not difficult - it is merely time consuming and requires concentration for the sewings. However, floral bucks is more demanding because of the need to watch and interpretate the pattern. Each piece has a different appeal and quite simply THAT'S WHY I MAKE LACE!!!! <grin> Regards Liz Beecher I'm <A HREF="http://journals.aol.com/thelacebee/thelacebee";>blogging</A> now - see what it's all about In a message dated 09/09/2003 23:06:28 GMT Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Subj: [lace] Re: Thinking person's lace - what about Binche? > Date: 09/09/2003 23:06:28 GMT Daylight Time > From: <A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</A> > To: <A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</A> > Sent from the Internet > > > > Several of us seem agreed that many bobbin laces, > certainly floral Beds, and some of us (at least me) > floral Bucks, are for "thinking" persons, what about > Binche? <snipped> > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
