One of the most delightful results of all this CD business is the new people I am meeting. Bianca is a specialist in the works of Elisa Ricci and we have enjoyed a very happy correspondence. Here is the note she sent me when I told her that she would enjoy Arachne and would make valuable contributions to all of us with her extensive knowledge of Italian lace. Also, as you see, she writes beautiful English! Aren't we lucky to have her with us! Tess ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Dear Tess, yes, I want to know more about Arachne. So, please,� give me the internet address and some informations about it. I am a mathematical teacher, did I tell you?, and I love lace. I'm not a lacemaker but I'm learning - just for fun - Aemilia Ars needle lace (I'm 56 and my teacher is 89 years old: she is a very expert and a very special woman). Elisa Ricci wrote the introduction to 'Merletti e Ricami dell'Aemilia Ars' (I have the first edition but: 1929, sorry!) and two or three years ago I began to search and study� about her. Her life... like a movie! I wrote an article and� a bibliographie. Someone said she was an art-writer : she studied and wrote about lace as an art but also she helped very much her husband, Corrado Ricci. Corrado Ricci was a writer, an art writer, he ordered the most important pinacothecs in Italy (Parma, Milano-Brera, Firenze-Uffizi ecc.), he was for some years the General Director of Fine Arts, he was an archeologist too. He wrote almost 1000 (one thousand!) books and articles. Bianca P.S. Elisa Ricci wrote her first articles with the pseudonyme� 'Aracne',.. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
