As someone who does a lot of Carrickmacross, I'm delighted that they are talking about the technique. The explanations from the RSN made sense to me immediately, it didn't concern me that the media were chattering away about it without much idea what they were talking about because we have heard that before with other styles of lace. Arguably all styles of lace. To me, the point is the RSN and Carrickmacross lacemakers and teachers have been given a marvellous profile in this. The press release might have just said the lace was appliqued and left it at that. Now there might be an opportunity to build on the interest and get more people doing lace, which after all is what we really need. I'd be interested to know how many hits the Carrickmacross centre site has had since the wedding and whether there are more enquiries about classes. Do we have anyone on Arachne who is involved at Kenmare, or another school? --- Rochelle Sutherland & Lachlan (13 yrs), Duncan (11 yrs) and Iain (10 yrs) www.houseofhadrian.com.au

My only thought is how right after the wedding people in the media were comparing it to Carrickmacross Lace which it actually isn't. The wedding was so great to watch on TV. I so wish I could have been there but maybe actually watching the wedding in my livingroom I had the best seat in the wedding. I even wore my knock off Kate/Diana look alike ring on. HEHE. I am finding it interesting reading about how the dress was make/how it was displayed. I LOVE all kinds of lace. Makes me think about collecting all kinds of lace and cutting it up to applique on some closes.
