[lace] Lace talk
Hi Spiders, I gave my lecture to day at the women's club. I was amazed how well it went. The ladies kept quiet for a whole hour, were very interested and asked a lot of questions at the end. The talk was this time only about bobbin lace. Some of them were in Bruges and have seen the demos there but most of them had no idea what it was all about. The organizer told me later that she has never seen the group so quiet for such a long time. I told them that I'll be willing to come again and tell them about other type of laces. Mostly people here know what crochet is . Then I went over to the museum to see the curator of the next exhibition. This time it is only women artists.I decided to go this time with my lace on the CDs. Decided that it was a good idea to show also some method of recycling. In the past I made my 2 CDs for the CD 2000 and then added another two when they moved on the US. But during the years a added a few more and now I have a collection of 9 CDs. Curator was delighted. The exhibition will be for a whole month and during Passover which hopefully will bring a lot of visitors into town. Just felt like sharing the news with you, Miriam in Arad where it is still rather chilly. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Convict bonnet project
Has anyone heart how this went, I know it is due to happen this month and was hoping we might hear is she managed the quantity of bonnets she wanted to? I know there were a few people on here, who were making lace and or a bonnet for her in some way.

[lace] Lace Day
Norfolk Lacemakers held their annual laceday on Saturday which was a great success we had quite a few suppliers including Sarah Jones who made some lovely commemorative bobbins for us. The speaker was Tanya Elliot who gave us a talk on her re-creation of Mary Tudor's Wedding Dress. The material alone cost £100 per meter and it took 10 metres, it took her 3 weeks to do the embroidery alone, it was an extremely interesting hour. No one actually recorded what colour the dress was that she wore for her wedding but through much research and elimination it was thought to be purple and gold with real gold thread for the embroidery, it is said to have cost the same amount of money as a warship would have done in that day which was one way to say how rich and powerful she was . From start to finish it took Tanya three years to complete and we are all looking forward to her next visit as she will be able to bring the dress with her unfortunately we could not have it on Saturday as it is on show at a museum on the South Coast. If ever you get the chance to have Tanya as your speaker grab it with both hands, I think you will be extremely happy, we certainly were.

Is there any written material (hopefully with pictures) of this dress? I for one would be interested in getting a copy. Lorri -who will never get a chance to see this speaker.
