RE: [lace] Lace from a painting
I don't see any copyright issues here at all. You are taking inspiration from the painting(s) and creating a totally different work or 'art'. Do keep us up to date on your progress!

I still have no idea about the filling through which the mimosa will snake. I'm thinking about something using two or three colors in the passives, and maybe a very loose and airy cloth stitch. Or maybe I'll do some sort of complicated weaving of plaits. Since this is just for my own pleasure and the joy of challenge I don't think there are any copyright issues, are there?

Re: [lace] Lace from a painting
Thanks, Lorri. The lace I have in mind will be an interpretation of the second painting on the page, the center section. I won't be creating something new, just interpreting it in a different medium. This is already so much fun, though I am at the very beginning stage of studying the image and imagining it in lace, thinking about techinques, colors and threads. I'm quite a conservative person who likes to tred in well-used paths, so this is really a departure for me!

[lace] Cipke - type of bobbinlace?
I don¹t understand this language(I think it is Polish), but I found this video of a huge lace project that several lacemakers are undertaking. They are using almost 10 inch dowel bobbins loaded with thread on this huge dome shaped pillow that stands taller than the lacemakers. Can anyone tell me more about it and what its purpose is? It is HUGE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FZX2OBVivA Very interesting!! -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tat-man.net/blog Magic Thread Shop: http://www.tat-man.net/tatterville/tatshop/tatshop.html email: tat...@tat-man.net Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/tatmantats - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Re: Cipke - type of bobbinlace?
I might have answered a little part of my question HAH. I found this video that showcases the finish project at a festival(fiber arts and lace?) in Lepoglova 2009. It features some really nice examples of interesting uses for lace on clothing and at the end is the object in question. Looks like a big lace igloo! Still don't know what it is other than lace art or a very large hoop skirt to go under a garment. ;) Here is that video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiuQLuB1zbY -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tat-man.net/blog Magic Thread Shop: http://www.tat-man.net/tatterville/tatshop/tatshop.html email: tat...@tat-man.net Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/tatmantats - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Cipke - type of bobbinlace?
Hello Mark, I think that you were doing the same than me: googling for Lepoglava. Lepoglava is in Croatia. Cipke means lace in many Slovak languages. Have a look at this interesting video about this the lace in Lepoglava. Scrolling down the page you will see the huge dome pillow. I suppose they are doing a kind of lace marathon... all lacing at the same time in a big project... http://www.croatianhistory.net/etf/lace.html Thanks to Laurie Waters for the information in your blog. Although I don't buy lace antiques, I love looking at them and, if I like them, try to find out something more about them. And this is the case of Lepoglava lace.
