[lace] homfleur

2012-09-22 Thread Alan Sheila Brown
Morning, nice today so he is getting on with the painting. I've 
found the site for Honfleur and dates. Three in May :- 11th, 18th and 
25th.  5 days. the first and third are £499, the middle one £469   
each.  Maybe cheaper since not over a bank holiday.   What do you think?

Done the ironing, now going to do some lace!
Sheila

[lace] Sister Judith 99

2012-09-22 Thread anneke
Hi all,

We had a great party yesterday celebrating Sister Judith’s 99th birthday.
I was able to present to her her biography I have written. It is in Dutch but
work on the English version is on the way!
She was very excited and happy with the book. She wants to say thank you to
everybody who did send congratulations on her birthday.

[lace] Springett's Designing Mounting Lace Fans 2012 Revised Edition

2012-09-22 Thread Jeriames
There have been letters on Arachne from lacemakers very  interested in 
Designing  Mounting Lace Fans by Christine Springett  (U.K.).  It was a 
small 
16-page booklet, published in 1985, and long  out-of-print.  People were 
paying large sums for used copies.
 
I've just received from Holly Van Sciver (in the U.S.) the  new revised 
2012 copy of this useful book ($15).  It is now 48 pages,  4 in full color.
There is a Index listing the following  chapters:
 
Glossary of Terms, Introduction, Drawing a Pleating Plan, Planning  
Considerations, Design Considerations, Working Considerations, Mounting a Lace  
Leaf, Preparing the Fansticks, Glue, Pleating a Lace Leaf, Gluing a Lace Leaf  
onto Fansticks, Making a Fabric Backing for a Lace Leaf, Mounting a  
Fabric-Backed Lace Leaf, Storage  Display, Supplies.
 
If you make fans, I think this will be a welcome addition to your lace  
library.

[lace-chat] Essential tremors

2012-09-22 Thread Elizabeth Ligeti
Thank you, Sue T. for that video clip.

After learning about the green tint - (which none of the optometrists I
visited knew anything about!), I tried my yellow tint on my shooting glasses
- and found it helped quite a bit.  

I will try blue, as I think it and/or pink are used to help dyslexic people,
and see if they help my tremor too.  I think optometrists must know of those
colours, and some sunglasses come in coloured tints, too!!
