Hi from a lurker,
I was reading & thinking about this subject.
Lace today could be used beautifully for trim if you want to wear
it. Think about just trimming a pocket edge on a stunning white blouse, a
collar on the same under a nice black pant suit or a lovely lace trim hanky
stuffed in the pocket of the suit, not just the breast pocket but the one at
the hip. It doesn't have to be a necklace or cuff. It could be a pretty trim
on an apron you wear for special occasion while serving at the local church
supper. These are ways that I would wear lace.
Well...just my thoughts....now back to Lurk Dom.
Yours in lace,
Joan

This is why I do not consider teaching bobbin lace to the young to be the
most efficacious way of promoting modern lace. Their role is to wear it and
look great. If they were working away in silent loneliness for the hours it
takes to produce even the smallest piece of lace they would not be on the
phone
ferreting out the trendy places to wear it. It takes hours and hours on the
phone to find out where the cool people are.
I myself am severely disabled in trying to find the cool people. I seem to
be taking my cue from old I Love Lucy reruns. I even bought New York
Magazine
and Time Out New York in an attempt to find out where the rich and
cultivated
hang out. I am thinking that if you have to buy magazines to tell you where
the cool people are, you are probably not going to find them.
If you want to promote modern lace, pin a piece to a teenager and give her
a
cell phone!
