Hi fellow Arachnids, Well said Alex! Just my sentiments. Always remembering that one does need to be able to use the tools and techniques of yesteryear as well as the NEW tools and techniques to create modern beauty for the future.
Happy lace making, Joepie, East Sussex, UK on a beautiful sunny day. From: Alex Stillwell<mailto:alexstillw...@talktalk.net> I started making lace in 1970, and in 1980 I started to learn Bucks point .... I agree. I teach traditional lacemaking but will also help students develop their own modern patterns and adapt techniques to accomplish them.<.......... .........>Using thick thread for a hanging means that the weight of the thread must be taken into consideration and the structure of the lace designed accordingly. Traditional fine lace is so light that this is not a factor. Have fun designing and, please, no more new clothes for the Emperor.
