[lace] Neo-Classical Loves of the Gods Lace series?
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a huge lace coverlet composed of handmade droschel strips and applied Brussels Bobbin lace dating from the Napoleonic era which depicts Diana and her shepherd lover Endymion (plate 76, Marian Powys, Lace and Lacemaking). In the Brussels Musees Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire there is a cushion cover with Mars, Venus, and Cupid (or Return of the Warrior) Risselin-Steenebrugen, M., Trois Siecles de Dentelles aux Musees Royaux d' Art et d'Histoire. Brussels, 1980, p. 488, fig. 328. Also in that museum there is Tableau en dentelle with Apollo and the Metamorphosis of Daphne, illustrated in Risselin-Steenebrugen, p. 487, fig 327. This is also shown in figure 369 and 369A in Santina Levey's Lace: A History. In the Buffalo Museum of Science in New York there appears to be another of the series which shows a woman with a floating veil forming a circle overhead and a reclining man. It is rumored that there is another of this series in Belgrade, the donation of the late Michael I. Pupin of Columbia University according to an article appearing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, new series, 1944-45, pp, 204-208. A researcher is trying to locate any other examples of this series that she believes may all be Loves of the Gods. Has anyone seen anything anywhere that is close in style and fabrication and that might be part of the series?

[lace] Dublin, Ireland
could anybody suggest places to visit in dublin where I could possibly stock up on anything to do with lace - threads, carrickmacross books, needlelace, anything? We will spend four days in Dublin this coming June. Any ideas for Faro, Portugal - any museums, shops etc., worth visiting - we will hopefully visit Portugal in September, possibly even do a day trip to Lisbon.

[lace] Mez thread
I recently got a supply of lacemaking things from an estate, and it included two spools of a thead that is strange to me. Mez Iris 50g spool, 100% Baumwolle, Made in W. Germany.

The name Mez is often used in Europe whereas it would be Coats or Anchor in Britain or US. I haven't come across Iris before, but it's probably the name of a style of thread that only came in one thickness so it is in effect the size. Made in W Germany means that it's a good 15 years old.

[lace] A bit more about Ruskin lace
...just to add another word or two about Ruskin lace: I have a very sweet little book by Elizabeth Prickett called Ruskin Lace and Linen Work. published by Batsford. The inside flap of the dust jacket says that in 1894 John Ruskin gave his name to a form of embroidery which was practised in the Lake District and which incorporated three forms of needlework: drawn thread, cut linen and needlepoint lace. The book itself is like having a marvelous workshop always at hand, and the diagrams and illustrations are excellent. The frontispiece (to die for!) is a Sampler at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. This was a group effort involving 60 students, and took five winters to complete. The accession number at the V A is T18-1979, if anybody wants a look.

Re: [lace] Re: Ruskin lace in Coniston, UK
Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Jane, I had a chance to visit Coniston 2004 when I travelled around England and Scotland looking for lace in various museums. The collection is wonderful. For those who have the book Ruskin Lace, it is a chance to see pieces and to possibly meet Elizabeth Prickett. She teaches a class in the area. We had a wonderful morning looking at her samples which were pictured in the book and talking about lace, linen and the difficulty in getting the correct supplies today. The museum is a very interesting place with mining and history of the area on display. On the opposite side of the valley from the main heavy travel, it takes a detour to get to it but well worth the trip. Dianne Quoting Jane Viking Swanson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi All, While I am getting the millionth update to the Anti-Virus program I'll add a little on Ruskin lace. In The Identification of Lace by Pat Earnshaw she says: Subsequently, he brought back designs of the so-called Greek lace from Italy, and the handspun linen was decorated with cutwork, drawnwork, reticella and needleweaving. As with most revival work, even that which carefully copied old designs, a certain stiffness of appearance distinguishes it from the verve and spontaneity of the 300-400 year old originals. No pictures, unfortunately. Thanks for your great report Carol!! Sounds like a wonderful place to visit! Jane in Vermont, USA where the grass is getting greener and there are tiny leaves and shoots everywhere!

This is cute, I hope you like it as much as I did. Michele Hitch Salinas, California Where we finally have sun today. We've had rain 21 of the last 31 days. Boy am I happy to see the sun! The BIRDS and The BEES. A little boy goes to his father and asks Daddy, how was I born? The father answers: Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to do a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, Nine months later a blessed little Pop-Up appeared and said: You've Got Male!

[lace-chat] SP Thanks
Hi Secret Pal, I received my package from you just before Easter and it was full of wonderful things. The silk thread made me gasp and I will be using it soon. I have a Chantilly pattern picked out ready to go. I just needed the thread and now I have it! The card is always useful. Thankyou for sending me some more. (always better than cereal box cardboard!) You must have been at the last workshop because someone had a bobbin bag just like the one you sent me and we all wanted one. I know a couple of people who will be jealous! Lastly...thank you for the beautiful piece of Torchon. Did you make it? It is so pretty. Thanks for brightening my day again. Janette in Australia -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
