Greetings gentle spiders
I am sorry to say that I have been a 'lurker' for some time. However, I
thought you may be interesting in my experience regarding using a lacemakers
lamp.
In 2004 I visited Cruelly in France for a lace event organised by the
Association Dentelles et Blondes Caen et Courselles-sur-mer.
www.blondecaen.chez-alice.fr .
The exhibition was set in the Chateau. There were lacemakers from all over
Europe. In a 'dungeon' a lace pillow was set up illuminated by only one
candle and a globe lacemakers lamp. I really didn't believe just how good
the light was. The room had no additional light other than the candle. By
focusing the beam from the globe onto the area of work on the pillow, about
1 square inch, it was very easy to see well enough to make the lace. In
this case, fine point ground.
One of the laces I make is Honiton and I believe that I could have used this
lighting system work on my Honiton pillow in the dark. Needless to say the
electric lighting we are used to is brighter but the focused light from one
candle was just amazing.
