Bev There is actually a bobbin lace group on facebook, with pictures already uploaded. The problem is that somebody uploaded a bunch of Romanian needlepoint lace photos. In other words the group's administrator isn't trying to keep the membership on topic, and there hasn't been much activity. (I don't have anything against Romanian needlepoint lace, but if a group is called "bobbinlace" it doesn't belong there.)
We recently had some discussion on needlelacetalk about how wonderful it would be to put up a general lacemaking site on ning -- the platform that needlelacetalk uses. It would be wonderful if arachne could just move there. The problem is that ning charges a fee. For a group as large as arachne that wouldn't be much of a problem, and could be handled by donations. It doesn't allow video conferencing, but you can put photos or diagrams directly into your comment box as you answer somebody's question.
