Well, thank you, thank you, dear Tamara, for sharing your Polychrome de C
experience with that astonishing, ample and altogether wonderful e-mail!
Thanks for the thanks :) I knew there were many people who wanted to take that class and couldn't for one reason or another. I promised some of them to take as detailed notes as I could, but then forgot who the "promisees" were... So, it seemed simpler to just post the whole to the list, in hope that the notes would be useful.
I have, BTW, forgotten to mention one thing: There are more patterns available than the ones shown in the 3 books on P de C. Mrs Parry had some booklets with her and they're very "drooly" :) They can be found (in English, if you click on the Brit flag) on:
http://blondecaen.chez.tiscali.fr/esom.htm
which is the Bouvots'website. To tell the truth, English or no, I cannot find the pattern booklets Mrs Pary had with her for sale :( But there's a lot of other interesting info there...
[...] now that I've had that experience, I guess I'm more
stodgily convinced than ever that my realms of lace and gold still lie with
Beds and Bucks and Needle, with maybe a little Milanese thrown in, when the
hunger for color gets too great (although all of my needle lace is done in
color).
Bucks isn't all that far of ffrom P de C; both are in the PG technique... And, as soon as I come to grips with it, I'm sure to "steal" some tricks from it, to incorporate into Milanese (which may not be my *overall favourite* technique, but it sure is easy to design in <g>)...
