Fantastic! Thanks to Lori to make the map and to Clay to write about it! This is a marvelous thing, how to spread lacemaking all over the world ;-) ! I think, that web has really enourmous power of sharing information and searching for it and this is a wonderful illustration of it. And the more lacemakers will become members of Buddy lace map, the bigger effort it will be for all others! I tried it immediately and it really works - I suceeded to put myself there and also to put the map on my pages http://lacespider.blog.cz/ (following instructions under the button Put it on your side). Really fascinating - thanks to all, who take care of this!
B.T.W., I've made my pages Lacemaking - game and creativity bi-lingual, there are some articles for English-speaking guests - http://lacespider.blog.cz/rubriky/in-english , the menu items are in Czech and in English and most pictures in Gallery have English descriptions under the picture (I am still completing the comments). Asside from lacemaking there are some photos from travelling of our family in Gallery (Turistika a fotografovánĂ), that's another of my hobbies, it shows the beauties of our country. Happy lacing to all and have a nice day, Lucy Kudrnova Prague, Czech republic Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 11:51:20 +0000 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [lace] Lace "Buddy" map Hello Spiders! I have just discovered that Lori Howe has added a new feature to her already incredible website! She has set up a "Buddy Map" for lacemakers! When you visit the map, you'll see a map of the world. Actually, you see two maps of the world. The top one allows you to explore various countries and see where the lace activity is (or was...) in each country, along with related pictures such as typical pillows and bobbins, and some of their lace. Very interesting. The bottom map is the new addition! You click on that map and get a list of lacemakers around the world. If you select a country instead of the world, you'll see dots that represent individual lacemakers who have added themselves to the map! I added myself yesterday... and so far, the list is very short. But it will be really fun to see the dots multiply on the map!! You don't have to give a lot of information about yourself, but your name and city/state/country is important. I added a picture as well. Go have a look! Lori's website is http://lace.lacefairy.com <http://lace.lacefairy.com/> . From there, go to "International" on the menu bar, and "Map Search" is the first option on that pop-up menu. Click that, and then scroll down to the second map. Click that, and you'll see the map with dots! Please do add yourself! Once again, thank you, Lori, for being the keeper of this amazing site!
