> > In most cases the same phot-rules as usual are given. But if you want to reconstruct old laces it would be better to go and let make a 400 color-copie. On this you see every fine thread and how it goes along. > > When I made photo's of the lace catalogue in the Town Archives in Haarlem, I used my normal digital camera on macro and set on as many pixels as possible. I made them by hand and luckily they are sharp, also when I have a look at them on full screen on my computer. Our lace group wanted to reconstruct these laces from the 18th century and we did also 50% of the laces in the catalogue. For this purposes I printed each photo on A4 format. Of course it is not so sharp as the photo's are on a normal format, but you can see how the threads go, the twists made and the pinholes. The prints are very good to work from.
Just another way to reconstruct laces. Happy lacing, Gon Homburg form a gray Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where we had nearly 2 months of snow and ice. Is spring now coming or do we get some more snow? - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]
