[lace] Christmas Card Exchange
Dear Spiders. I received a Christmas card from Lin Hudren this weekend. Her ornament is an ecru candle with yellow used around the flame and a holder of variegated Christmas red white and green. I especially liked the way Lin has used some tiny metal stars to give it some weight. Ayla In New Zealand where the weather is alternating almost daily between balmy steamy hot days and freezing, biting wind fronts. I'm not quite sure which makes me feel more christmassy! - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] lecture by Alicia Jan Boswell in Amsterdam
Yesterday we had a wonderful evening with Alicia Jane Boswell in Amsterdam. She gave a presentation about her work and her motivation of including lace in it. She told us why she wanted to do that and that she teached herself how to make bobbin lace and that she started right away with metal. In my opinion the hard way, but she didn’t know and nobody told her. Her pieces are amazing, enamel with lace patterns and real metal lace. Stunning. At this time she is in Amsterdam for the Jewelry Art Fair last weekend. This week she is enjoying sightseeing Amsterdam and meet people.

Hello everyone, I am in search of a painting by Jean-Francois Millet. I have googled and googled, but to no avail. I haven't been able to track it down. Can someone recognize his painting in this: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5516/10817558655_d4cee40189_z.jpg If so, which painting would it be?

Re: [lace] Painting inspired lace: Jean-Francois Millet
I'm curious why Jean-Francois Millet has been associated with this lace. If this lace was inspired by a painting, I believe the painting would have had to be much older than those painted by Millet in the 19th century. The style of the figure in the lace is much more consistent to the paintings of the 17th century, with regard to the clothing, as well as the treatment of the subject itself. The Millet figure of a gatherer is evocative, it conveys a sense of the hardship endured by the (female?) figure. The figure in the lace is barely burdened by his load, walking upright, and my sense is that this is more of a record of an occupation... a completely different viewpoint.

[lace] DP Arachne meeting at convention
Hi, Sorry to double post, but I want everyone to get the message. I heard from a number of regular attendees at our convention lunches and only one was enthusiastic about our meal option, so I am going to suggest to the IOLI convention committee to omit the entry on the registration for our luncheon. Maybe we can have an informal get together either at lunchtime, or after class once we see the convention calendar of events. Many were not interested in having another box lunch, and food in California hotels, as we know from experience, is very expensive. I hope everyone is okay with this decision. Once we know the lay of the land in Sacramento, we maybe able to take over an area of the hotel for a short time to meet up. Maybe we can do something at future conventions, especially where we have an Arachne member on the committee. I will write again closer to convention with ideas.

Re: [lace] DP Arachne meeting at convention
I think that is smart to not schedule a lunch if there are not many people willing to attend at a given price. I would like to point out that when you are having lunch in a room, most often you are paying for use of the room and having the chairs and tables set up as much as you are paying for the food. When talking with people planning a convention I think it would be important to acknowledge this, as if they are able to work something out with the hotel it may have a cost associated with it. Not that it isn't do-able. I do think this is a good idea and will encourage better attendance.
