[lace] Japan

2011-03-14 Thread Jean Eke
As we watch the tragedy of  Japan unfolding please can I use this media to  
show love and support to all who are suffering.
With telephones not operating the internet has been a wonderful way of 
communicating with family and friends and there may be Arachne members out 
there who can reach us.
Arachne and our love of lace has taught us that today the world is so small.
Many of us will have our own family members in Japan and will be sharing a 
little of the shock.
I am sure we should all wish to support them.

I would like to second this. Having family and friends in Japan, this
hits much closer to home. I am very grateful for the luck my family
and friends have experienced as they are all in good health. Seeing
the tragedy on my computer and television screen, I feel exceptionally
saddened that so many people are suffering. It feel surreals as I walk
the safe streets and realize at the other end of the world people are
suffering immensely. At times I even feel guilty. In one day their
life turned around. How do you recover from such tragedy?

Let us stop and realize how lucky we all are.
Much love
Nathalie

[lace] Lace

2011-03-14 Thread Alex Stillwell
Hi Sure

Thank you for your kind words about my edging, delighted you enjoyed making
it. For an older persons wedding why not an edging to go round a photo of the
married couple mounted in a particularly good frame?

Keep lacemaking

Alex

What a lucky bride to get something with so much thought into it. Hearts are 
always appropriate for a bride. And all the elements!

-What would people choose to do for an older bride who doesn't want 
children, more children, or cant have them?  -

When I had to make a bridal hankie, I used Little Danish Hearts, a Bucks 
version of a traditional Tonder design.  I used a blue gimp around the hearts 
and mounted it on matching blue fabric.  So it was something old (traditional 
design), something new (just finished making it), something borrowed (the 
English borrowed the design from the Danes), and something blue (the fabric 
and the gimp), all in one package.

I had thought of hearts, forgot about the patterns with little horseshoe 
shapes in, which I have used for an edging once.   I always consider the 
blue (and normally used as a gimp) and was just interested in what other 
things other lacemakers might bring into their designs.

the thought processes and answers have been lovely.

Subject: Re: [lace] Facebook scams  from Arachne list

Hi all,
I too have had problems with Facebook in recent months, it somehow dived
automatically into my computer and fished out all the email adresses which
have ever passed by my inbox! Very embarassing! I read an article in the
Spanish press some weeks ago that was saying that this is the new spam, as
it ie easier for spammers to infiltrate social networks than email now that
email security has improved. Somehow I think that Facebook can unfortunately
be somewhat spammy on its own as if you click on the wrong thing it just
seems to take off on its own!
Best wishes,
Angharad

I found the pertinent website.

Some online lace store sells this.  I don't know which, but I was shopping 
online, searching for something lace related and found it.  My only problem is 
that you have to get your lovely lace in touch with raw sticky clay.  I'm not 
confident that washing would make all right again.

Re: [lace] lace imprinting

2011-03-14 Thread L.Snyder
I have, in fact, had some lace imprinted on pottery. It was done 
locally, and I too, wondered about sticky clay.


Turns out the lace, in this case tatting, did not come back gunked up. 
Yes, it was somewhat dusty but the clay is not wet when they imprint 
it. It is mostly dry, slightly damp. A superfine lace would not show up 
well anyway, so a sturdy piece would come out just fine!


I do know of some instances when they imprint the lace and then leave it 
in to burn away. Please verify before committing!

[lace] Satellite Tsunami Photos of Japan

2011-03-14 Thread Carol
A friend sent me this web link.  I think you will find it interesting.

These are the clearest satellite photos yet. Move your mouse sideways  
to reveal Then and Now comparison.
Look at Fujutseka and Noriaga especiallywhole forests have  
disappeared as well as half an island in the middle of the river. In  
one a river has been revealed that was obscured by the forest canopy  
before. The very last photo both valleys by the sea area have been  
scoured from the shore inland just like a glacier would produce.

Nice treatment of the google sat photos here:

[lace] Japanese lacemakers

2011-03-14 Thread Elizabeth Ligeti
I have a cousin and her family in Tokyo, and they are all safe. (Not
lacemakers)

 

I have also contacted Junko, a lacemaker, who is also safe and well.  Many
people may know her as she has lived in the UK and USA I think. She was in
both my classes at the Denver convention in 2005.  She has co-authored a
book, I believe, - but it is in Japanese!

 

Another non-lacemaker Japanese lady I know has not replied to my emails -
yet!  She is not very good at replying, so I am keeping my fingers crossed
that she is OK.

 

What a great disaster.  What is the world coming to?  A terrible start to
2011.

 

Regards from Liz in warm, sunny, Melbourne, Oz.
