Re: [lace] Translation - Finding Lace Teachers
Dear Lorri, I am writing for all, as a means of sharing how I do some research. You can write to Betty Manfre, which is a good place to start. She will recommend the best books for learning to make Cantu. This year's International Organization of Lace Inc. Handbook was full of errors and skipped names of very important members. Betty Manfre's was one. You may have an older IOLI Handbook, like the 2012-2013 one with red fan on cover, since you are a member (I looked you up, to be sure). You will find Betty's e-mail address on pg. 6, under Italy. She lived for quite a few years in New Jersey USA and is fluent in both English and Italian. She is a former IOLI Regional Director for Europe. (There are also Regional Directors for the Asia/Pacific Area, Canada-East, and Canada-West.) The IOLI directory is quite helpful, but needs to be shared only among members. I will not give the detailed listing for Betty on this public Arachne site. When IOLI members decide to throw away these Handbooks or any membership lists, please shred them!

RE: [lace] Translation - Finding Lace Teachers

[lace] Lace Exhibition in Twickenham
There is an exhibition opening on 30th October and running until 25th January 2015 at the Stables Gallery, Twickenham near London (TW1 3DJ). The exhibition is titled 'Lacemakers', and the blurb says 'A contemporary open exhibition celebrating work made of or inspired by lace'. This is the first time the gallery (or its parent gallery, Orleans House) has had an exhibition devoted entirely to lace. I hope to visit later next week, but at the moment all I know about the content is that my submission called 'Framing the Face' (based on my work on early lace) should be on show.

[lace] translation
Lorri I have an Italian pamphlet called Lavori i fuselli. Lavori is work, fuselli is bobbins, so bobbin work. There are some Italian language magazines which occasionally have patterns for Cantu. But I'm not aware of a book. I assume you mean the kind of lace which is tape lace where threads are moved from one area to another by means of a rolled bundle so that no threads are cut out or added while the lace is in process. Mary McPeek's pamphlet is the only thing I know of. Lorelei - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Hello All! While in Sacramento, I purchased a booklet on Skansk Knyppling prepared by Marji Suhm for the Lace Museum in 2003.

Re: [lace] translation
Apart from Mary McPeek (and I did a course with her years ago at Ithaca), there are publications by Vera Cockuyt on Cantu and another called Lavori i fuselli - Edizioni Mani di Fata. Don't know if either of these are available any more.

[lace] Cantu Lace instructions
Dear Lorelei and Arachne members. The Subject has been changed, so this will file under Cantu.in our archives, Because others may be interested in Cantu lace making, I have spent several hours on Lorri's Cantu lace problem. Not on the translation (Thank You, Lorelei!), but on what could be available from which a student could learn Cantu. Following are a couple of ideas I sent privately to Lorri, that Lorelei (managing laceioli.ning.com) might like to capture for future Cantu and Italian lace questions: 1. Jeanine Robertson in Canada, a member of Arachne, has a site devoted to Italian needlework that I suggest you look at. It will take you on a trip to Italy. She does Italian language translations. She writes for PieceWork magazine. italian-needlework.blogspot.com/ - 2. Books can be borrowed from the IOLI Library: http://www.internationalorganizationoflace.org/iolilibrarylist.pdf There is only one Cantu instruction book (other than Mary McPeek's) that I remembered might be available in the U.S. It is by Vera Cockyut, and can be found on page 18 of 80 in the IOLI Bobbin Lace list of books. If a member of IOLI is able to work from Vera's written class instructions, they might borrow from IOLI: B-341 Technique of Cantu Lace, 2000, English. 46 pages of technical notes and diagrams; 9 pages of prickings. - 3. You could ask at your local lace group if there is one of Vera's Cantu instruction books in your group's library. Or, someone may have it, and will make available to you? - 4. When you find any good lace book of instructions on any technique, look for a bibliography of other books that might compliment it.

Re: [lace] Scania lace
But, if we are not talking about photocopying the pattern and sending it to someone, but rather incorporating the made up lace into a holiday ornament, I see no reason to ask anyone for permission.

Re: [lace] Scania lace
Laws concerning copyright vary from country to country. The rule of thumb I use is to ask the author of the pattern permission to use the pattern, I state exactly how I want to use it and how many copies I want to make and to whom it will go. I have never had a rejection. Anna from a hot Sydney - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Cantu lace books
Apart from Mary McPeek (and I did a course with her years ago at Ithaca), there are publications by Vera Cockuyt on Cantu and another called Lavori i fuselli - Edizioni Mani di Fata. Don't know if either of these are available any more. The above books emrege occasionally. I recently got Lavori at a lace day raffle. Keep checking lace dealers and online book sellers. Let people know you are looking for them. There are some new Cantu books coming out of Italy. I have a friend with a couple of them but I don't know the names. However, they are in Italian, and she ordered them directly from websites in Italy. There are also some videos (perhaps CD or DVD) also, which can be ordered from Italy. I was looking at them once and thought they were a bit spendy for my pocketbook but my friend loves the one she has. I suggest doing some internet searching. You might have to look up the Italian word for bobbin lace. Sorry I don't have the websites handy. Does anyone know the Italian terms that would be helpful?

[lace] Cantu lace instruction
There is a video on youtube but it is in Italian which I do not understand. There seems to be a lot of explanation on how to work the pattern but about half way in, it does show how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMOijsC86Eg I also seem to remember that some Italian ladies came to IOLI convention a number of years ago and they had a video that they were selling about Cantu lace. At the time I was not interested so did not follow up with them. Maybe someone else remembers it, or maybe there is a copy in the IOLI library that can be borrowed.

[lace] LOKK pink ribbon finished!
Hello All! It's done, off the pillow posted to Flickr. OMG--at the end I was laughing so hard I could hardly see to tie the knots! I am not displeased with my first effort considering all the helpful advice (from you) angst (on my part). Jacquie was quite right, the finish separates wheat from chaff! What went wrong? I pulled too hard on the magic thread broke the silk lace thread. Then I discovered that I had put the wrong thread thru the magic thread to begin with. How about an uneven number of threads? Yep, I cut a passive off found its frayed end later, plus I had more passives laid over the cloth stitch than threads laid out from the edge. It felt like the Three Stooges were making lace on my pillow but it was just me! How did I fix it? Size 28 tapestry needle, LED light magnifiers! I was able to weave in a thread to repair the cut off passive there are a few tiny blanket stitches to hold the other corner together. I doubt that it will unrave! l so it's perfect for a Crazy Quilt project where beads silk ribbon embroidery embellishments will hide its flaws! So I'm cutting another notch in my bobbin winder hope you all enjoy the hilarity of the occasion.

Re: [lace] Cantu lace instruction
Hello Janice and everyone Would they have been promoting Il Merletti di Cantù I wonder. The publisher did send order information about this book and about the proposed 6 videos, of which only 3 were ever made, early 2000's, in Italian, the first one with English subtitles, in PAL format. They and the book might still be available, I found them several years ago at an ebay seller in Italy, in Italian but for quality of instruction, the McPeek and Cockuyt titles mentioned are quite good, supplemented with whatever online videos can be found at present.

How I wish I could go to that exhibition. Very best of luck with it Gil. I am sure it will be a huge success. I am still all fired up about the metallic Early Laces, - and my IOLI Bulletin arrived yesterday with a great article by Kim Davis on the subject! So thank you, Gil, for a wonderful, on-going, trip into the past. I am flaunting your 3 book series around, so you may get some orders from around here, - if you sell privately. The Lace Supplier I mentioned to you has been very ill, and is only just getting very slowly into the business again, but I am going to show them to another Lace Supplier at the end of next month, at our Lace Day, - and also to our Guild Librarian , (and any others I can find who show an interest!), as they are a mine of information. I have read them from cover to cover a couple of times.
