Hi All, The picture of Olgemini's work makes me think of the tendency of lacemakers to want perfection in fine work for everything they do.
Irish Crochet is one practical way to introduce new people to lacemaking, they may then be inspired to do finer work, they may not. It would be good to see a booklet with practical applications - like a motif in heavier thread to sew on the pocket of jeans, a shirt. It may encourage more people to become involved. Snakes make useful bookmarks, but lace to wear need not be as fine as the work regularly seen by a NSW Guild member at Meetings. Lacemaking is more than fine Bucks Point, Torchon, Milanese etc, etc, etc. Mary Carey Campbelltown, NSW, Australia - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
