disagree. If you did this, then people would make their lace entry to only meet the requirements and judging criteria, and I think it would stifle creativity and those who strive to broaden their horizons. On the other hand, the English Lace Guild in its proficiency certifications tells you exactly what skills you need to demonstrate. I think it would be fairer if the entrants knew what they were being judged on. The entire issue of mounting demonstrates that there is no clear criteria in the US about whether this should be a big item or not. In fact, I believe, from something a judge once said, the IOLI doesn't count it at all, since it isn't "lace", while the Dianna Stevens point system _http://www.domesticarts.com/Judging/judginglecture.htm_ (http://www.domesticarts.com/Judging/judginglecture.htm) , which I have referred to before (don't know if it was published in the IOLI, but it is on her site) gives a full 20 points out of 100 to mounting and presentation, including framing. The framing is also problematical since the back is supposed to be available for inspection.
