Mmm - yes! I'm also trying to decide on what to put on a luggage label.
Count me out on the "also trying to decide" <g> I spent over a year rejecting idea after idea, but have - finally - made my decision a few days ago; it'll be in "Rosa Libre's rinse water" technique :) I've been fiddlin' and fiddlin' with some ideas on it ever since I came back from the Ithaca worshop, and have come up with some elements which - I think - are still within the basic "canon" of it, but are also different enough to be called my own, and I don't mind owning to them.
A sample of the experiments will be going off to Cathy for approval soon, but, whether she approves or not, that's what I'll be sending to Hollies on my label <g>
And, yes, I do notice that the rules say: "other than the addition of beads or raised petals, lace should be two-dimensional", when Rosa Libre's main attraction (for me, anyway) is its 3-dimensionality... But, that rule is below the statement of intent, which says: "The Worldwide Lacemakers' Census is an attempt to obtain a snapshot of the work of lacemakers today". As Rosa Libre has pretty much obsessed me since I first saw it, and as I've done nothing else for the past 7 weeks or so (since my return from Ithaca), I can't imagine a *truer* "snapshot" of my current work ;)
Wouldn't it be fun if we all made a label for the Lace Guild's census?
Aren't we all participating???? I should hope all of us are...
