[lace] using thread bits to wind thick threads
When I use fine thread in a light colour, if there is just a bit left, I leave it on and do a half-hitch to prevent it from getting loose. Then, when I want to wind thicker thread, or metallic thread, I tie the end of the new thread to the one already on, and start winding my new thread on on top of the fine one. I noticed that quite often, metallics and thicker threads tend to turn around the neck of the bobbin and get loose when you get towards the end of it. With the fine thread on the bobbin, it helps keep the thicker thread tight, and it also acts as a extender if I misjudged the length needed a bit. When I've finished with the thicker thread, I cut it off so that the knot goes off too, and I've still got thin thread on the bobbin ready for the next lot.

[lace] Huetsons book
Yes, Huetson ( and indeed Wright also) have made mistakes (IMHO) but they are really quite minor and only come to light in detailed argument. Its like the mistakes that Palliser has made, but along with those mistakes are wealth of "good" information. In one of the queries that have come to the list recently I looked up Whiting (Old Time Toys and Tools of Needlework) and discovered a "mistake" that I had previously overlooked. I just love here writing, she takes you with her on her travels. Never mind her mistakes!! :) I like Huetson very much on the bobbin side. I cant really comment on his lace side.

[lace] Two-Pair Inventions - distribution
Gentle Spiders, Apologies for this ad-like posting, but y'all have asked for it :) In the past few days, I received several "gentle reminders" about the booklet; I have, after all, promised I'd start distributing it as soon as I came back from Europe, and here I've been back for almost 2 weeks... So here's the "scoop": The projects included in the booklet - Snowflakes - have been on my website for quite a while; I've now added the photo of the front cover and all the basic info about the booklet, as a separate entry. Both can be reached from the same URL (in the signature), so you can see what it is you'd be getting. On advice from several friends, I've upped the price to a round $10 (easier to remember, and a better profit to The Lace Museum). I think it's still reasonable; the sting - scorpion like - is in the tail, or the shipping costs... Within the US, I'll be shipping it Priority Mail, flat rate, in an envelope provided, free, by the PO. The cost of shipping, of a single copy is, therefore, $3.85 (at least for the moment ). It burns me up to have to pay to the PO exactly as much as the profit to The Lace Museum is going to be, but it seemed the best solution. The booklet itself weighs ca 12oz, so fits in the 1lb limit, even with the envelope added. But it's not heavy enough to make book-rate a saving, especially since I'd have to buy my own packaging material for it... So. If you're in the US and want a single copy, send me a check for $13.85, and I'll pop it in the mail on my way from depositing your check in the bank :) The copy should reach you within 2-3 working days from the "popping" - that's what the PO promises. If you're in the US and want more than one copy, book-rate might be a better route to take, if longer. It takes *at least* a week to get where it's going. Also, add extra time for my finding/buying a suitable box/envelope, checking with the PO how much it'll cost to ship, letting you know, your sending me the check... Those of you who live within a reasonable driving area of The Lace Museum (Sunnyvale, California) should pick up your copy *there* (in a couple of weeks). I'll be sending them a few copies - book-rate, to cut down on the shipping costs. Their selling price is likely to be about the same as mine+shipping, but the profit to The Museum is going to be slightly higher and to the PO slightly less, so "it's a good thing"... US distribution is the easy part :) For foreigners, there are two options: 1) You can risk sending cash, *in US dollars* to me, for the total amount (individual rate for shipping, to be established when I receive the request, same as with multiple copies for US) 2) I've set up a PayPal account (sigh; I hope Jacqui Southworth, who'd talked me into it and led me through the process, will continue to supply good advice on how to *use* the dratted thing ). Supposedly, you ought to be able to use your plastic (credit card) to buy. But at a price; PayPal will add charges for a) transfer of funds from a non-US bank and, b) charges for currency exchange (that, on top of what's likely to be the most un-advantageous rate of exchange, if I know my banks ). All those charges I'll have to pass on to you. *In addition to* the shipping charges... Which are likely to be so high as to be crippling... :( I've checked the "global priority" (an envelope similiar to the one I'll be using for US; fast, but goes by weight, not flat rate) to UK, and it's *U$ 9.00* (how do you, secret pals, *manage*???)... Book rate - I've been told - is not available for shipping abroad, unless the package is over 11lbs (sounds weird to me, as in Poland, anything over 11lbs *couldn't* be shipped book rate, and had to be shipped as a parcel, but what do I know). That leaves surface mail. Which takes 5-9 weeks, by the PO's (most likely overly optimistic ) estimate. The guy couldn't give me a price, because it would depend on the weight of package and its destination; again, the shipping costs would have to be established on an individual basis, but they're not likely to be low. Don't know how Barbara Fay manages to ship books free... So, there you have it; much as I'd like to make big bucks for The Lace Museum, I have to - in all honesty - advise you to think twice before you order a copy, especially if you're not in the US :) Additional info for Brits: when Jacqui (Southworth) was here, she took 10 (I think) copies of the booklet with her for sale in UK. She won't be mailing them out, only selling at the Lace Days she attends. And she'll need to make some profit on every copy she sells, beyond my costs and the designated profit to The Lace Museum. Still... Since she shlepped the books all the way to UK, her profit is likely to be less than the price of shipping :) If she's going to be at your Lace Day in the near future, you might consider geting a copy from her, rather than from me. Yours, mentally exhausted, T (In Po

It does look very similar to the (genuine) hanging bobbin I have (passed down through the family). However, the name does not sound familiar. Mine has the word "Hung" on it.

Re: [lace] What bobbins are these?
Dear Spiders, well, here goes a perfect record of lurkdom! These are all spanish bobbins - the first batch is from Galicia - northwestern coast of Spain, the best known centre being Camariñas. The same goes for two of the bobbins of the second batch. Both of those, being antiques could perhaps be worth the price. The bobbins in the third batch are from Catalunya, (Barcelona, Tarragona etc.) These bobbins were and are used all over Spain, and this batch is over-priced - IMHO. I could find out whether, as I suspect, the other four bobbins in the second batch are from Galicia as well, but it will take a while. Spain closes down in August!

[lace] Re: Lace-tour 2
Helo again, Yesterday I mentioned Marie Sedlácková-Serbousková, today I will tell you a bit more about her. Then she is the "mother" of modern czech lace. She is born in june 1895 in Javornice at the foothills of the Eagle Mountain, nearby Vamberk. A region were people make bobbin-laces for about 300 years. She got her first art education in 1910 - 1912 attending courses of decorative drawing in the Museum of Hradlec-králové. The next year she passed entrance examination to the Secondary School of Arts in Prague but couldn't start because World War 1 broke out. She needed money so she created patterns for needle-work, bobbin lace and paintings, she designed wooden toys for children, she was realising her designs by herself and selling them. All this work wasn't good for her because she had in her youth a serious scarlet fever what hurted her eye sight and now she needed much stronger glasses. At least in 1921 she started with her studies in Prague. Her laces are influenced from the traditional ones. But she want to made lace modern, suitable for the people of 20th cent. Some of her designs are very big but the lacemaker needs mostly not more than 30 pairs of bobbins. She won prizes and become a famous lace artist but from 1940 on she couldn't see enough to make any more designs. In march 1964 she died. I do two pictures of her work in my webshot album, they aren't high quality because of light, glass and so on. http://community.webshots.com/user/arachne2003-date The next day we travelled to the south-east along of huge fields with sunflowers and poppys what made me thinking on all the fine cakes made with the seed of poppy and stopped in Olesnice in a Blue Print Workshop. Mr Danziger, the owner explained us everything very well. This is the last Blue Print Workshop where they still work in the old traditional way as before more then 1oo years. It will be to much to tell you all and it is not lace, hihihi. In the shop they had nice little things made with this Blue Print tissus, lovely. the last two days came later.

Anyway I learned a lot from doing this mat. I had no picture and no instructions except the pricking itself. This is the piece I was doing that used so many bobbins. The pricking kept climbing up the pins. One other thing about the pricking climbing up the pins is that when I took the pins out from the back of the mat I think that pulling up also helped the pricking to rise. I don't know.

[lace] What bobbins are they? E Bay
There are a fairly generic type of what we (non continentals) call Continental Bobbins; but that is not enough to really identify them! Estonia, comes to mind at first, but they are a bit too short and Dumpy for that. There is some resemblance to a type of Swedish bobbin but... I think they are French in origin. The are too "blunt" to be French Valenciennes. The necks are too short for Le Puy and the head is not right. The could very well be from the French Alps (I do not have a district name to give them) If they were decorated ( would say they were from the Queyras) region of France ( I do not know where that is?) Even undecorated that is a possibility. Tournes, ( France) is another very real possibility, though most of their bobbins have a longer neck, there is a short necked bobbin also. But you know what my best bet is?... Sri Lanka. Having said that, they got to Ceylon via the missionaries, whom I do believe came from France and or Switzerland. That seems to fit in with the Alpine region of France. This is well and truly open for discussion.

[lace] Broken bobbin.
I would suggest that you use one of the instant (Super) glues. Not those that you buy from the cheap shops but from a reputable hobby shop. The generic name for them is cyanoacrylic glue. It is probably a two handed job, one holding it in place, the other dropping the glue on to the joint.. Keep it away from your fingers. Depending on the value of your bobbin, the glue could be more expensive than the bobbin! After the repair, a quick warm wash of the bobbin should take away any nasties that just may be left, but I am not aware of anything that might hurt the thread. (but I am not totally sure about this) There mat well be an aeromodeler that lives near you. They use it all the time. I am sure he would do the repair with you, it only needs a drop. BTW the more "ragged" the break, the better the repair possible.

> From: "Tonnie McBroom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >I picked up a booklet last year of lace patterns of animals, >but I have no idea of how to make it, or where to start. Hi Tonnie and all, What I have been told is Martine Bruggeman doesn't make any instructions when she designs her lace. It is up to the lacemaker to create her/his own style. I have quite a few of the patterns as I just like them so much. In my webshots you can see the "swans in a heart" it is from a pattern by Martine B. http://community.webshots.com/user/sonjasillay The thread I used is Bockens linen 60/2 and used the same thread but in 35/2 for the edge pair. I think the clue with this sort of patterns is we have to plan the work carefully before we start. First decide what side you work form - the front or the back. I worked from the back so I made the swans first as they are in front of the heart. Then the water, heart and last the green. If you have a scanner scan the pattern and look at it on the screen you can see so much more then. Experiment with twists, different stitches and colours. It is really nice lace to make and you don't use many pairs.

Re: [lace] Possible hanging bobbin on ebay
According to T.L. Huetson's "Lace and Bobbins", there were only six known "hanging" bobbins, and the name on this bobbin is not one of the ones mentioned in his book. The names he gave are William Bull, Joseph Castle, William Worsley, Sarah Dazeley, and Franz Muller. Also, Matthias and William Lilley are included in this list although the word "hung" was not inscribed on the bobbin, as it was made more in sympathy than to commemorate a hanging. Most people did not think they were guilty. And then there's the possibility that Heutson's research missed a genuine example...

May be that gives an idea. http://www.geocities.com/ieperse_huiskant/sneeuwwitje.html http://www.vanniftrik.nl/kantklossen/ http://www.vanniftrik.nl/kantklossen/resultaten.htm http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dentelle.fuseau/perso34.htm Jo Falkink - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Broken bobbin
I've broken several bobbins, both wood and bone ones, and have glued them together and used them for many years with no problems.

[lace] Lace Magazine
The entry in the Myth and Mystery competiton from the lace class I attend is shown bottom left on page 13 of the supplement. The pieces were made by a very mixed ability/experience group, including a lady with cerebral palsey who has limited use of one hand only - she made two pieces of seaweed. My contributions were the red fish and what looks like a hot air balloon, but was intended to be a jellyfish. A yellow/brown seahorse can just be seen in the photo, and there's also a bue fish and a yellow/orange octopus.

[lace] Broken bobbin
You could smooth off the broken end of the bobbin at the shank and use it as a pin pusher - just a suggestion!
