Hello Gentle spiders, I have received questions regarding the IOLI contest. For clarification here are the rules. Hope this helps. I will not be back to arachne for a couple of weeks. I have been busy with company since the convention and I am so far behind. (Timing was not ideal, but it sure was nice seeing old friends.) If any one has any questions write me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
2006 I.O.L.I. Lace Contest: In honor of the 2006 convention theme: Dentelle et Arts de la Table/ Lace and the Art of Table Dressing, the 2006 contest theme will be: Feast for the Eyes. Flowered or geometric, traditional or modern, colorful or subdued: what is the feast for your eyes? With the passage of time, precious moments of family gatherings and holiday joy can fade. An item - a table ribbon - may serve as a visual, tactile reminder of these events, a symbol of past cherished family memories. The tradition of a lace ribbon at holidays may preserve special moments in ways a picture might never do. The contest: Table ribbon 35 to 45 inches in length (90-100cm) â 3.5 to 5 inches in width (9-12cm), any technique, any size or type of thread, at least two colors. The lace cannot be attached to fabric or framed. All sides of the lace should be finished. Beads and wire are permitted, but remember this is a two dimensional contest. Categories of submission: Original Lace Design â The entry must be designed and worked by the entrant. A copy of the original pattern and working directions must be submitted with the entry. Technical Proficiency â The entry must be worked completely by the entrant, but another lace designerâs pattern may be used. Information acknowledging the designer and source of the pattern must be provided with the entry. Start a tradition, include the family, and create a table ribbon that binds your family traditions and memories. All entrants must be members of the I.O.L.I. First right of publication is granted to the I.O.L.I. Bulletin. Designer of original work will hold the copyright. The Bulletin editor or I.O.L.I. Board designated photographer will photograph the lace pieces. Request entry forms and more details: from Debra Jenny, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) .
