[lace] Pictures from Rauma lace week
Hello everyone, Pene, who lives now in Estonia which is separated from Finland by only the Gulf of Finland, is thinking of visiting Rauma lace week some day and asked if I have any pictures from the lace week this year. I sent the pictures to her but mentioned that if she can not receive the files I could use the Arachne web shots album to share them. After receiving the pictures she mentioned that actually other Arachneans would like to see them as well. So, I have uploaded them for all of you to see. The title of the album is Outi or you can use this link: http://community.webshots.com/myphotos?action=viewAllPhotosalbumID=469031950 In Rauma Museum they have every year a lace exhibition from some another country. This year the laces where from Vologda, Russia. (Rauma Museum has Rauma lace in permanent exhibition.) Rauma lace association has every year an exhibition of lace made in Rauma in Poselli. This year there was also lace from Mária Danielová from Czech Republic. She makes these pieces of art lace that look 3D even though they are flat. (Some of you saw her lace during the OIDFA lace tour in Czech republic after the Prague congress.) For some years now there has also been a lace exhibition in the water tower of Rauma. The tower has a cafe and a good view over the city and also room for an exhibition. This exhibition tends to have more contemporary point of view to laces than the others and every year presents something you have not seen before but it does not reject traditional laces either. The laces for this exhibition has been collected from around Finland and are not just work of Rauma lace makers. This year there was also a lace exhibition celebrating Impi Alanko's 80th birthday. She is the most famous lace maker in the country, I think, having been on TV couple of times. Anyway, she has done a lot to keep Rauma lace alive and redrawing old patterns as well as designing new ones. She is a very much respected person in lace circles in Finland. Even though she is not in very good health at the moment she spent a lot of time demonstrating lace making at her exhibition. Hopefully you enjoy the pictures. Happy lacing!

[lace] Pillow Bag
Thanks for all the advice about pillow bags, I've just finished making the one Clay recommended and I'm impressed - with the concept not particularly the execution, my dressmaking skills are very rusty - it's a very adaptable shape and it's taking my largest round pillow, I think it's a 24inch, with ease. I think I'll make a smaller one for my littlest round pillow - can't resist fiddling about with patterns to see how I can adapt things. jenny barron Sunny Scotland, think I'll take the dog for her overdue walk - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello When I try to look at the album I got a page that says it does not exist. 1996 I spent a day in Rauma and it was a very beautiful city with a lot of lovely lace. It was a day called The day of the black lace.

Re: [lace] Robber Barons - nitty gritty
Dear Tamara -- Try adding on a whole lot of brilliant artificial light, as the days grow shorter; that is a wellknown and usually effective remedy for SAD (Seasonal Affective Depression); and as for the head team and all that, try leaving a little space for those of us who disagree with you utterly about politics, by leaving the subject off Arachne where it doesn't belong. Aurelia Yours, digging ever deeper into depression, as the summer winds down, the days grow shorter and the country's head team continues to be as disgusting and treacherous as ever the commie system had been in my teens...

Re: [lace] Robber Baron Slide duplication
Dear Devon -- Maybe with your powers of persuasion, you could persuade the Met to make a gift to the IOLI? The Met gets so much getting that maybe it could try a bit of giving? That would solve some of our problems. -- Aurelia - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Fw: American Indian lace
Hi Lorri and All, I received this directly and I think Lorri was the one who asked about it. -Original Message- Go to http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving and enter American Indian Lace in the search box. -- I've been at the Professor's site looking for tape/Battenberg lace and haven't gone futher afield there but I thought they must have info! I've had fun by Googlingsybil carter lace The quotes make sure it's one name and the lace helps get what I want (though possibly the same Sybil Carter also has a recipe for Lace cookies and Peanut Butter Pie). I'm particularly taken with the site concerning Mrs. Bainbridge's lace collection going to the Univ. of Rhode Island: http://www.uri.edu/hss/tmd/bainbridge.htm I love the Czech lace on the last page! I do love color VBG. Jane in Vermont, USA where the leaves are starting to change and they're very pretty!

re: [lace] flax, and linen thread
Hi everyone and Madelin spinning some into thread for bobbin lace. I think I could spin it very fine indeed--fewer than 8 individual fibers--on my homemade Lisard (paper) spindle. Has anyone else tried this? I haven't tried flax on a spindle, but it should work if you can put enough twist in - keeping your fingers damp with linseed gel helps, in the process. Also spin from the end of the fibre, not from the fold. The latter is nice for woollen yarns, but can give too much halo to a strand intended for a craft with abrasive movements such as macrame' tatting or bobbin lace, where the strands move over each other a lot. If you want the thread as smooth as possible, ply starting from the same end as you started to spin each single - therefore plan ahead as you build up the source (cob? cop?) around the spindle, so you can find the beginning bit after releasing the spun amount from the spindle. HTH :) I have just finished a sample using the DMC embroidery linen. A couple of threads parted rudely before I was finished - and in general this thread doesn't seem to have as much integrity as, for instance, Bockens linen threads for lace. But, providing I want gentle, muted colours, I can pick up a skein when I want it from Michael's locally; nice to have the thread in hand ;) bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (in autumn rain on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Rope bags
Well! Well! Well! The things one learns on a Lace List :)) :)) :)) I had never heard of Rope bags before Thanks for the tiny url, and now I know all about them!! (Instant expert!!) What a good idea for a pillow bag. I made mine from upholstery vinyl, so it is showerproof. However the straps are a bit springy as I did not lay tape when I made them up, and the whole thing was a pain to make, as the sewing machine does not like stitching that fabric! Still it works - that is the main thing!!!
