[lace] Lace classes
Before we advertise elsewhere, I would like to let the Arachneans know that we have a couple of vacancies in each of two courses at the end of this year. These full board, residential courses are held in a 3 star, Best Western hotel in Dover (England). The first is the weekend of 6th, 7th and 8th October, with Pat Read, studying Milanese and other bobbins laces. As the title suggests most students work on Milanese but Pat will teach most bobbins laces. All abilities are welcome. The second weekend is 17th, 18th and 19th November, with Bridget Cook, and the class is called Lace with an International Flavour. Again most bobbin laces can be studied, with a lot of the students working on Russian and Idrija. This class is also the place to be if you want to design lace, as Bridget can help you with most types. Once more, all abilities are welcome. Please contact me off line if you would like further details sent as a PDF file.

[lace] the new web site
I have spent a happy time on this snowy day exploring the new web site: http://www.handweaving.net/DAHome.aspx I checked on the CD area and found that it only mentioned weavers and weaving. Be patient! Kris will be posting the information for the lace CDs as soon as he can. Another thing I found was something called Gallery. Here it seems that he posts items that have been woven from the books and patterns that the weavers have sent in--from old out-of-copyright material. I wonder if any lacemakers (or tatters or knitters or etc etc) have tried to copy any of the old material? If so, we can certainly add to the list. If you think that's a good idea, please let me know. In fact, I hope that people will write me with suggestions for improving the lace section of this new version of the Professor's site. Kris Bruland, our new man, is very welcoming to lacemakers, but he is a weaver and doesn't automatically understand what we might want to see on the site. He is definitely devoted to answering our suggestions, so please think about it. By the way, I found that if you go to languages and put in the language of your choice, you will see a nice listing of everything on site in that language.

RE: [lace] the new web site
Thanks for the Heads-Up Tess. The KEYWORD SEARCH CAPABILITIES on the new site is wonderful. Give it a try. I like the new site. Course I like to weave and spin, also.

[lace] Oya reticella laces
Does anyone know of anyone in the US who teaches these laces? I am especially interested in learning the Turkish laces/Oya. I am hoping to find someone on the east coast who teaches it but will go just about anywhere.

Re: [lace] Oya reticella laces
Dear Christina...well, first. no, I do not teach Needle oya.! ;-) I have two books on the subject and a couple of us are stumbling along. I have a friend, who was here on Sat, and she left with my book...Turkish/English version She sent me a link to site where the book, in Turkish, is printable Great pictures. too http://www.akmb.gov.tr/turkce/books/osmanlidangunoyalar/ It has good diagrams and some English. She has also found a lady in Ca who makes and sells and will send that link to me , also About a year ago i becamse interested and eventually thru ebay made contact with a gal in Istanbul, she is very fluent in English. Suzan (Caliskan) is lovely and thru her I bought the books I have. She sells strips of the needle oya and other Turkish hand work. on ebay. She also handles the thread that she said is used...I questioned that when it arrived, because of the texture, but my friend, Shay, said that she read the pieces are starched. So we are learning every day. You can go to Suzans ebay store,the link is http://stores.ebay.com/sunnymailbox . Christina, suzan is a lovely ,helpful lady. ...about 45 years old. Gentle, kind and well spoken. We have become fast friends...the name I use for her is Sunny...and she is! If you have access to PIECEWORK magazine (Interweave Press) two issues have very good articles about needle oya. Issue J/A 1996 page 22 and the current issue J/ F 2006 page 28. Both are informative in different ways and both have instructions.this lates issue explains how there are peopl buying the needle work of the ladies in the smallcommunities, especially since the 1999 earthquake, so they can make money 'for bread' i think both issues are available. I do not think reticella is related to the mid-eastern laces...Armeniam lace is and the needle oya is classed with Bebilla. it is prominant in most mid-eastern countries. i was so pleased to see you inquiry. Suzan has the book I bought ((she originally found it for me )..it is out of print. that is what started his friendship.She still lists it, occasionally.very expensive...but i am glad that I bit the bullet and got it. I have a second book on beaded oya, no English but great pictures. Jeri in Maine mentioned the two volume set that Suzan also has. it is a reference catalogue. I have not seen it. Oya can be needle, tatted, beaded and /or crocheted. The word itself means embellishment. please let me hear what you learn and I will forward any information the crosses my desk..

[lace] Commerative time again!
Hi All Yes, it's time to start thinking about this year's commeratives. I was wondering if anyone minded if I put my bid in to do them this year. It's been six years since I've done them, and I had this idea. I heard chatter on the list about having bobbins with something like Member since 1995 on them. Now, if we have a vendor do this, it'll take extra time to get the orders in for painting. But since my painter is right here in the same town, it won't take any longer to get the bobbins painted. What do you all think? If there's any problem with this idea, we can do the usual, and take bids. We do need to start looking for contact people for the different countries, so if you did it in prior years, and would like to do it again, I would love to hear from you! Bless you!

Re: [lace] Commerative time again!
I, for one, would enjoy having another of JoAnne's bobbins. I say she should at least be allowed to put in a bid for vote by Arachne, or even have her do them again this year. Robin P.

Re: [lace] Oya reticella laces
Gretchen Allgeier taught knotted needlelace and oya construction at the Hasbrouck Heights IOLI convention. She was even able to teach it left- handed (that may not matter to you, but it sure did matter to me!). She used to own the shop Beggar's Lace in Colorado, so maybe the current owner knows how to contact her. Robin P.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Southern humor
Must be that time of year... We're in the season for Southern jokes again. The list here was much longer, but since I remembered seeing all but one before, I'm sending only that one :) From: R.P. A man in N.C. had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man replied, I have a flat tire. The passerby asked, But what's with the flowers? The man responded, When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back! I never did understand it neither. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
