Re: [lace] Looking for a pattern
Louise Colgan's tape on making Milanese features a lovely colored hummingbird as its project. Devon In a message dated 9/3/2010 12:02:41 P.M.

Re: [lace] Looking for a pattern
If you go here... http://celticdreamweave.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html you can see my Louise Colgan Butterfly that I made from her Milanese DVD. The DVD makes a wonderful teacher. Everything is very well explained step by step on the DVD. I think you should be able to get it from Holly Van Sciver or the Lacemaker. I don't remember it being very expensive either. I have also made the Milanese Heart that is also a pattern of Louise. NOw if I could just get her Milanese Angel pattern that would be so great. Does she have any new Lace Milanese books out that I don't know about. I love Milanese for all of its braids. I am really excited...I will be going and staying in Ithaca, New York during Columbus Weekend and I will be taking a wire bobbin lace jewelry class being taught by Josee' Poupart. It should be fun and right up to something I will enjoy doing. I have two dozen alumium bobbins my husband made for me at his job he doesn't have anymore for me to use with wire. I will try them out finally and see how they are. They should make beautiful happy tinkling music as I lace.

RE: [lace] Working Bobbin Lace PAtterns using Wire
I don't know much about using wire but I was making a flower yesterday that has to be gathered after laced. I decided to use wire in one area to stiffen it and it turned out pretty nice. The other threads were DMC 40. I used 34 gauge wire for this. It is the first flower in Flower Fantasy by Rosemary Shepherd. I used the wire in place of the red thread. Marji After making several all wire pieces (I took classes with Lenka) I have made several pieces with wire and fiber combined. My lifesized 3-D Iris was a class at the LA IOLI 2009. this does work well, but do not use Sterling Silver wire as it will tarnish and you will not be able to clean/polish it. I usually use #30-#34 gauge wires. One can get some great colors, mostly at online sources. JoAnn's and Michael's do carry some of the colored wires but usually in the larger (too large for lace) sizes. Another source is the colored copper wire used in the coil of electric motors. Old motors can be a source or a shop that repairs electric motors. Hope this helps, Lorri F -who has used wire in lace as well as when I was a Manufacturing Jeweler. PS If anyone has more questions, I will do my best to answer. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Nanduti
I came across an incredible video on the process of nanduti. 9 minutes. You can see her starting a motifs and you can watch her cutting the fabric backing off.

Re: [lace-chat] 'Lisa and the Lacemaker: An Asperger Adventure'
If you go to Amazon UK you can read the first few pages. It is clearly written for fairly young children - 8 ish - and presumably has been written more to explain Asperger's than bobbin lace. Listed on Amazon are other tales concerning the condition written by the same author. There is no indication in the first few pages of how much the author knows about lace.
