Annette: 't Apostelientje's address is Balstraat 11, which is just around the corner from the Kantcentrum on Peperstraat 3A (http://www.kantcentrum.com/). Claeys' Antique (http://www.claeysantique.com/) is a shop located in the southern part of the city on Katelijnestraat 54, specializing in lace for collectors. Most of the lace shops in Bruges do have antique lace, but with the majority you really have to get into it and make them open up the drawers and show you the good stuff, rather than the modern items which are 99% worked in asia. I prefer to look for study fragments of laces I am interested in learning at 't Apostelientje, Claeys' and suchlike where I know the proprieter is a lace enthusiast like myself! Lacefairy's website has some listings for Bruges and Belgium. (http://lace.lacefairy.com/International/Belgiummap.html) Orchidee, which is the other well-known shop for lace and needlework supplies in Brugge, is located at Mariastraat 18, which is just up the street from the Gruuthuse Hof -- an excellent small bistro. It sits just opposite the Gruuthuse museum, which has a beautiful collection of lace. If you drive to Bruges, a good parking garage is Biekorf, located near the market center under the library (hint: the library has restrooms). We're taking a coach trip, so no driving but have to meet the coach at 1:30 a.m. tomorrow! Of course do not forget to buy chocolate.

As you all know, I have been posting the address for the Professor's site to all lacemakers as http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html This is still correct, but when I sent him a copy of the article which just came out in OIDFA, he wrote me the following: Tess: One thing I worry about is directing folks to lace.html. They may never know there is more to the Web site and things of interest elsewhere (like nb complete issues and the current monthly page). Better would be to direct persons to weavedocs.html for an overview of the site and to lace.html for lace-specific documents. Ralph p.s. Remember there is nothing special about lace.html. It is one of 60 or 70 topical pages. For example, there is a page for embroidery also. What he means about NB is that he is in the midst of scanning all the copies of the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletins from years and years back--a momentous job!--and he wants everyone to know that he has lots and lots of other stuff on his site. So take a look when you have hours to spend. By the way, if anyone has any copies of the NB that they might be able to lend for scanning, or that they might be willing to scan for us, please contact me. He is missing quite a few issues, and I can look on the list and see if he needs yours.

Re: [lace] Re: Men making Lace
From: Tamara P. Duvall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Iain is not the only one.. Kenn Van Dieren (our own g) has also learnt Tamara is right. I do think of my self as a lacemaker as well as a bobbinmaker. Shortly after I began to turn bobbins I noticed that some tended to unravel the thread in use. In order to quantify the problem I took all sorts of measurements and discovered that .1 (yes, ten thousandth of an inch) could make a difference. Rather then measuring each one and attempting that type of consistency for hand made items, it was easier to just use it on a pillow for a bit before selling it. Sort of a test drive. But that meant that I needed a pillow make lace on. Plus, since I was making a tool, I should know how the tool was used. Holly Van Sciver was my first teacher in 1997. And I know that while I frustrated the heck out of her, she always helped me with a smile. ( I think the smile did get bigger when she could say take that part out and redo it correctly though. grin Since then I have gone on by myself and last year (first time I entered) I won 3rd place for Original Design at the IOLI lace contest and received my certificate from the Canadian Lace Gazette for the 5-metre Club (also an original design). This year I won 2nd place in Technical Proficiency at the IOLI lace contest. Now while that sounds great, you must understand that I won 2nd place in a contest with two entries. Think about it. There seems to be some room here for competition. And there are a lot of lacers out there better then me. So get to it and compete. After all, your competition is a guy with big hands and a tendency towards the Torchon Tug. grin I break 120 thread just winding the bobbins. I have also started a new 5-metre club entry (you can do more then one) and the project this time is to be 6 wide. That makes 32 panels 6 wide and 4 deep with a 2 continuous border at the bottom. I am on panel 3 right now and have 172 hours into so far (including all the retro-lace) so about 18 are done.

[lace] Hobbycraft/lacemaking kits
I was in Hobbycraft this afternoon (went to get a polystyrene head), and i the section of the storeI was in, one of the assistants was putting House of Crafts kits on the shelves, including their lacemaking kit, which I've said before consists of a polystyrene roller which fits into a cut-out in the box it comes in and a few plastic bobbins and beads. (Take a breath.) I commented to the lady putting them out, that they'd put more pople off than they'd encourage to make lace. Her reply was that they were only intended for children up to about the age of about 14. When I said that it didn't matter what age they were intended for if it put them off, she suggested I talked to their head office and persuaded them to stock 'proper' lacemaking equipment. I told her they'd already tried it, and had had a member of staff who was a lacemaker to choose the correct equipment to sell, but as they were charging about three times the price of other suppliers, they hadn't sold much and had finally reduced the stock to get rid of it. She said she remembered the lady in question and agreed that some of the stuff in the store was overpriced, but said that individual stores had no control over what was stocked and how it was priced, so there wasn't much she could do and got on with stacking the shelves. I was surprised that the head was cheaper than anywhere I'd found so far at 5 pounds 49 pence - used ones are selling on ebay in excess of 10 pounds.

RE: [lace] Hookies
1. Lenka Suchanek makes/sells bobbins for use with wire. They are the size of travel bobbins (e.g., a good bit shorter than average) with a metal eye screwed into the tip. I haven't used them, so can't comment on them. However, they are designed specifically for wire. The others, I believe, were designed for rayon and metallic threads. 2. There's a C-shaped all-wood hookie, sold by Biggins. I know I've seen them elsewhere, but not sure where (maybe Holly Van Sciver?). Personally, I don't like these. The bobbin is normal, except instead of a thistle head there's this large wood C on top--all one piece of wood, mind you, but the top is carved, not turned. The gap in the C is big enough that they don't hold the thread as well as some of the others, and also big enough that they grab their neighbors' threads more easily than others. At least for me. 3. The other all-wood hookie I know of is from Beggar's Lace. I got a couple, many years ago, and haven't ordered anything from her so I don't have a recent catalogue. These are nice. The hook is a very deep groove parallel to the two sides of the shaft. Because it's so deep, they hold their own thread very well. And because the point of the hook doesn't stick out much, they don't grab their neighbors as much as the C style. 4. I use ones from The Lacemaker. These have a turned/decorative base, with a very heavy wire for the shaft and hook. The wire is about as thick as (and as stiff as) coathanger wire, but is brass-color. The hook is arched over, like a U, so the point is parallel to the shaft but not as deep nor as narrow a cleft as type 3. They can be a bit grabby--all hookies are--but no more so than #3. And the bases are decorative, which I consider a plus. I don't remember the prices on 1-3, but #4 are USD8 each. I think the others aren't any cheaper, because so much of the work is off-lathe carving. just my not-so-humble opinions, Robin P.

[lace] Yippee! g
Gentle Spiders (and other friends), Some time ago, Avital set up community webshots albums to give us all a chance to show of our work. I tried that, and chased myself up a tree ( like the 'puter-illiterate monkey that I am). Then my puter-geek son came to visit (about 3 weeks ago) and I asked his help. He looked at my options there, at the free web space my provider offers (for non-business ventures), and decided I'd be best off using *his* domain; I'd have no limit on space, and I could leave the stuff there forever... Sounded good to me :) So he set it all up, gave me one lesson on uploading, I took notes, and he took himself off back to California. I had the keyboard incident the day he left, which meant I had to postpone experimenting on my own till it was replaced. Once the new keyboard was in place, I tried uploading, and chased myself up a tree again; my notes weren't detailed enough. Yelps for help to DS went unanswered... Today, I thought I'd give the notes another try. Pay more attention to what I saw in the windows which appeared in response to every action, and add comments to the notes. Then, *success*; I was flabbergasted g At any rate, here are some of my earlier designs (URL in the signature). Mostly, it's the stuff that can also be seen at the Fiore e tombolo website, but a couple of pieces are new. Eventually, I'll add new links to the two existing ones, but not in the next 2-4 weeks; they need a lot of forethought, since they cannot be edited -- only removed and replaced. What you get, when you click on a link, is a page of thumbnails. I don't know how long they'll take to load up -- I have broadband, so time's not an issue -- I tried to make them big enough to see what's what, but small enough not to be a burden. The thumbnails have titles only; click on the thumbnail, and a bigger picture shows up, with the title and relevant info (size, thread used, publication date and venue). If you can't reach the page, don't bother letting me know -- *I can't fix it*. If you reach the page and find typos or other mistakes in the links -- ditto. Unless it bugs you absolutely beyond bearing (can't see why it should; it's not your page and embarassment g)...

I don't know about Norton's firewall (I only use their anti-virus software), but it may offer more than the free version of Zone Alarm. If your firewall keeps notifying you of Trojans, then it suggests that your PC may be under attack and you do need a firewall. If the Norton programs keep disabling, it may be a problem with the way they've been configured, in which case Norton technical support should be able to help you.

If you prefer to hear him talk try the audio books - I love listening to audio books when I am lacing. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0141803630/qid=1065173361/sr=1-6/re f=sr_1_3_6/026-1144937-8254034 jenny barron Scotland To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Understanding Engineers
This one has made the rounds before -- even on chat. But, hopefully, long enough ago to raise a chuckle now. From: R.P. part 1 Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, Where did you get such a great bike? The second engineer replied, Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, Take what you want. The second engineer nodded approvingly, Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you. part 2 To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. part 3 What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers? Mechanical Engineers build weapons. Civil Engineers build targets. part 4 Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet. part 5 An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to have a wife or a lover. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his lover, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, I like both. Both? Engineer: Yeah. If you have a wife and a lover, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the office and get some work done. part 6 An engineer was walking one day when a frog called out to him and said, If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess. He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week. The engineer took it out, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want. Again he took it out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me? The engineer said, Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool. part 7 A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes! The doctor chimed in, I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude! The pastor said, Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him. [dramatic pause] Hi George, say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they? The greens keeper replied, Oh, yes, that's a group of blind fire-fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime. The group was silent for a moment. The pastor said, That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight. The doctor said, Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them. The engineer said, Why can't these guys play at night? - Tamara P Duvall Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd/ To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
