Re: [lace] Re: [lace] macramé
Gorgeous works! I'm so tempted, although I can't make myself spend USD 95 for a pair of earrings. THanks for the URL. The amulet bag I fell in love with all those years ago was lacier than this artist's work. Robin Robin P.

[lace] pillow question
As far as I understand, the Honiton Lace Shop in the High Street closed several years ago, even though the web pages are still up. It changed from being purely a shop to include a restaurant in 2003 with visits to the lace shop by appointment only. The mail order side of the business continued. It then closed and another business opened up at another location in Honiton (some mention of 'The Barn' as the address), but is more of an antique business than a lace shop. Jonathan Page, the owner, explained on Arachne what was happening in 2003. If anyone knows what the current situation is (probably someone who has visited Honiton recently), can they please tell us what the position is.

[lace] lace display in PA
Hello All! I completely forgot to post this earlier. :-( My friend Chris is the featured artist at the Deer Creek Winery in Grove City, PA during the month of Oct. The winery is located at 216A South Broad in Old Towne (Grove City). The opening event was last week & she made a lovely pattern--St. Catherine--to be worked in torchon or 'sGravenmoer. Lots of folks visit Grove City Outlets at this time of year (shop 'til you drop!) & the town itself is only 5 miles east of the outlets & I-79. So if you're in the area, please support your local lacemaker!

Re: [lace] webshots
Thank you Clay for being wiling to do this. That is very generous of you In my opinion, SMILE sounds like a sensible thing to try out for the time being. By the time Clay reaches senility (if she ever does, and, whatever she says, she is one of the most capable people I know) I'm sure someone else will be prepared to take it on - or there will be some better/ different options out there anyway. As there's a free trial period, it sounds as if there's no loss in trying it out, and seeing if all our separate folders upload. If we need to move to a new site, it would probably be best if those of us who have uploaded photos, uploaded them to a new site, rather than going to the effort of downloading and moving them. I know some of mine have been up there for years, and don't need to be there any more, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe I should go to the effort of uploading more recent work, as I realise now that I haven't put any of that on for ages Sue sueba...@comcast.net - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] macrame
Re " I'd also like to draw your attention to "Le Macrame" by Th. de Dillmont. THe book is from 1922 and is on the Professor's site. Robin, could you give me the actual website to find this book? I've spent 1/2 hour trying to find it on the Arizona site -- to no avail. At some point I did find the google search area, but also it was quite indirect to find this book. I took the macramé class at the Greek OIDFA and still have the last piece to complete -- so I thought this book would help. Of course if someone else could direct me to a book, I would be very grateful since I'm really trying to finish projects! Diane Z Lubec, Maine I don't have that URL at my figertips either. The book does have two "sculptural" flowers but the rest are borders or insertions - just incredibly gorgeous things!! It's in French but the diagrams look pretty good for non-French readers like me. The variety is amazing and the combinations seem endless. There are some great new booklets on macrame (mostly in Italian), with gorgeous lacy edgings and sometimes medallions. I've been looking into this since the mid-90s, when I saw an amulet bag in macrame, made with (probably 8 or 12) pearl cotton. Then there's the book that will soon (I hope!) be published by Marji Suhm on Greek fingerlace. It's a Greek version of macrame-type lace. Robin Robin P.

Re: [lace] webshots
I'm still willing to do this. I'm depending on lots of savvy people out there to look at this critically and determine whether it will work. Fortunately, we can have a free trial period to see how it does, but if we don't like it, we will probably lose all of those pictures (downloading does seem to be an option, but it would be time consuming.) Another issue to be taken into account is whether the account can be transferred at a later date... If, for some reason (senility comes to mind - and sometimes I think I'm there already!) I can no longer maintain it. Clay >> >> So if Clay follows through and opens a SMILE account for us, the whole >> arachne2003 set of photos would mean just one fee of $30?

Re: [lace] Clock panic over
My best advice to anyone doing this is find and buy the suitable clock first, make sure it is right for the job and then source the pattern. My initial intention was to buy one like the image on the front of Alex Stillwells geometric lace and work a piece of bucks point lace but I couldn't get the info from the supplier so it never happened so when I saw this other one I was pleased and grabbed at the opportunity without realising there was no glass underneath the plastic. It proved difficult to find a big enough circular pattern of lace but I did eventually find one pattern which is only one or two sessions of lacemaking and then some sewings in to complete it. I am getting quite excited now, and looking forward to taking all the cover cloths off it and seeing it all together. Susie, there is a lamp shade pattern in the Modern Lace designs of Veronica Sorenson. Sue T Hello to One and All! I'm so looking forward to seeing this piece. On my list of many things to do...I was contemplating making a lace clock for my studio. In addition to a lace lamp shade for my bedroom. Hugs, Susie Rose Another update on the clock face and frame saga. The offending piece is going back to the seller and we purchased another clock today which looks idea for the job. Glass front, deep enough to take lace and hands inside and nice and elegant overal. Will take photos when it is all complete. The lace is coming on well and should be finished by the end of this week i think.
