Just this noon, I read this magazine while dining out alone. The lace is on page 36. Anyone with basic knowledge of using metal threads and the special bobbins for making metal lace could easily make a very dramatic coiled necklace (quite large and bold, yet delicate) just by looking at the picture. Really! Devon, this will attract attention. It says that the necklace was made of recycled plastic bags, silver and copper wire, nylon thread. However, I cannot see how the plastic bags were used, and think they could be ignored. "Ornament" could be used by lacemakers for design inspiration - to make original laces. Published in California since 1974, it only gets better with the passage of time. This magazine is sold by subscription or in large book store chains in the U.S. and is usually in the magazine section for either needlework or art. The cover of this issue - Vol. 28 #3 - is bright yellow with orange lettering and has a model dressed in those colors. The skirt fabric is said to be composed of lace medallions, but lacemakers would probably beg to differ with the description. The large bookstores have chairs where you can sit and read. I recommend you look also at the remainder of the magazine, especially the beadwork on pp. 44-47. There are listings of interesting exhibits in museums and galleries, starting on page 19. Now, for the ladies in the U.K.: I think I've seen this magazine in very large bookstores. In London, and in York. Might also be in the book department at Harrod's, where they do carry some American publications. Worth asking.
