Hi all -
Once you've reached the Telegraph site, be sure to click on the link, >In
pictures: from Sri Lanka to our screens< which takes you to a series of
pictures showing how production of lace for this film, and for disaster
relief, is benefitting the people in Sri Lanka.

Thanks for the link, Clay.
I read it and then visited
http://www.powerofhandsfoundation.co.uk/
where I noticed that a lace design #7 is 13.00 GBP by the metre. It
takes about 12 to 14 pairs and would be quick to make though let's
hope not monotonous. I think that is a reasonable price, if it is a
fair wage for the Sri Lankan lacemakers, and if they aren't
experiencing repetitive-stress if having to make metres and metres to
order.

Hello Spiders -
A local friend, who gets much of her news via foreign sources, has
forwarded
me this nice article from the "Telegraph" which focuses on lace! Now a
film
is making waves with the (real) lace in the costumes!
