Re: [lace] Artesania El Boixet

[Carolinadgg]

Yes Janis, they are active. They were attending the Diada lace Day event in 
Sant Cugat last Sunday. In Spain they are lace events every week so, they are 
possibly very bussy...
I hope this helps to afford the wait...

Re: [lace] Lace Express

[Carolinadgg]

Rosemary, and fellow lacemakers,

The only lace demo I have knowledge in Málaga (Spain) in June is

LAS LAGUNAS - MIJAS COSTA - MALAGA
Saturday 10th. June

Respect to Lace Express, as far as I'm concerned as designer and a regular
collaborator, it is a bad new, and sad for all who love lace. Probably, the
decision is not only for personal reasons  but for the little respect that
nowadays exists regarding copyright too, which is really discouraging.

[lace] lacemaking methods

[Carolinadgg]

Thanks Antje.
This is a very clarifying explanation, as sometimes different lacemaking 
methods with similar results lead to confusion. It is important to understand , 
 the how and why teachers  make things in one or another way. 
In this case for practical reasons according with used pillows.

 This is for all travelers, and has been written before on Arachne.  It  is 
 so automatic to my daily life, that sometimes I forget that I am old  
 fashioned because I would rather make space in my purse for a flashlight or  
 torch 
 and leave cell phones and computers and even cameras behind.
 
 Read this as a shout:  Travel with a small Flashlight (called a  Torch in 
 the U.K.) in your purse.  
 
 It has helped me to see details of lace and clothing in galleries and great 
 house museums all over Europe and in China.  Even in the V and A.  It  has 
 helped in complete galleries that have dim lighting.  If you use it  
 discretely, a museum security person will not bother you.  If you flash it  
 all 
 over a wall, like fireworks, you may be stopped.  Use common  sense, and it 
 will be alright.  
 
 A flashlight was invaluable on my first trip overseas - to Switzerland  37 
 years ago.  I was in St. Gallen, which has a museum of interest to us,  
 though much is incredibly detailed laces produced by machine - you can  
 search 
 to read about.  (There was a good review in a newsletter from  the Chesapeake 
 Region Lace Guild - Washington DC and states around it  - very recently 
 that would make most of us want to go there.)  St.  Gallen is not far from 
 Zurich by train, and connecting trains took me all  through the Alps to 
 figure 
 skating landmarks.
 
 In St. Gallen, I stayed in a very old hotel near the clock tower in the old 
 part of the city where the open market is very interesting.  A friend  was 
 there, visiting her family, and we all went out on New Year's Eve to a  
 chalet on Lake Constance.  At nearly midnight, young men left the party to  
 go 
 to the village church.  We put on our Winter coats and went outside (it  was 
 snowing gently).  At exactly midnight (their timepieces are quite  
 accurate) they began to ring the church bells.  Other men in towns around  
 the lake 
 were also ringing church bells.  The ringing  bells echoed back and forth 
 across the lake.  Best New Year's  ever.
 
 So, we returned to St. Gallen and I was dropped off at the old hotel.   In 
 the lobby, very little lighting.  Up one set of stairs, none!  It  is at 
 times like this that a lady needs a flashlight to find a light  switch.
 
 Please remember everyone.  You'll be able to examine laces close up in  
 light.  If you have room in your purse, a reasonably-sized magnifier is  also 
 handy.
 
 As we get older, it is more difficult to read fine print in train schedules 
 and the like in dim light.  This is when both of these handy items are  
 worth their weight in gold.
 
 I know.  I know.  You can take a picture with your phone and then  see 
 these things, but.what parts of the overall experience of travel are you  
 missing while you are being a photographer focused on one thing?  I hate  
 this 
 aspect of modern life, because people with all these devices over-ride  and 
 sometimes block what I'm trying to capture from everywhere around  me and 
 retain in the best device - the human brain.  I've found  very few people are 
 interested in another person's photos.
 
 You may take your stuff, but I'll take a flashlight (every  day) and 
 small magnifier (just in case) on every trip!
 
 Glad for the experience, I returned to St. Gallen some dozen years later,  
 in Summer.  The old hotel was being reduced to rubble.  The  picturesque 
 aspect of the area was being destroyed forever.  It is like old  lace.  Look 
 at 
 as much of it as possible, because much is being destroyed  forever.

Re: [lace] Bobbin weight

[Carolinadgg]

Yes it, is. The size of bobbins have to be related with the threads used. But, 
maybe it makes sense for you if the pillow is in a degree of inclination in 
order that the bobbins hung, so the weight of them helps to tension.
 For example, when the lace is worked completely horizontal as it is made in 
centre Europe the bobbins are litlle size and threads very fine. So, there is 
not so important to tension, but it is only necessary to acommodate the threads.
Hope this helps

 can come from books, lectures, informal conversations, Arachne. I believe I 
 learned that the weight of a bobbin helps it to tension the lace.

Re: [lace] anniversary logo

[Carolinadgg]

Hello all,
Speaking of lurkers...
I am usually a lurker  excepting those few times I think I can contribute
 to the list. There are not so many because of language (this there has been
talking yet) and because the expertise of the members are just wider than
mine.
 I am member of Arachne since year 1999 or 2000 , I do not remember exactly
now if it was Janice Blair who made a spider that shared with the list with a
sign of @.
This put my mind to think about designing something in Witchstitch  lace  (
also  called Hinojosa lace) I shared it with the list and this was the result:
 http://carolgallego.com/arachne.html
Tamara,  you were speaking of this design, not from Lenka .In fact I do not
remember Lenka's.

 How about commemorative name tags?

 Or maybe someone on the list (with more knowledge and talent than I)would
be
 willing to design a small piece of commemorative lace that we could each
work
 for ourselves?

 Some 10 years ago, Lenka Suchanek (then a member of Arachne list), designed
a logo for us -- a drawing of an @ sign, with a spider in its center, to be
made in lace of one's choice. This being during the time when my lacemaking
mind was still working fine, I made a pricking using that drawing as my basis,
and made a lace piece (kinda-sorta Milanese) on the pricking. Since the
pricking is mine, not Lenka's, I don't think there could be any copyright
objection to my sharing it with everyone who'd like to use it.

 I'd be happy to make it -- and a photo of the lace -- available, but someone
else would have to do the uploading. All I'm able to do is e-mail the pricking
(and not today, either; it has to be clear-copied. These days, it's a major
project, requiring lots of concentration, and therefore slow) and the photo to
someone willing to do the posting. There's no way I'd be able to learn how to
upload to Flicker or wherever we're posting.

several more than capable of the job.  Evidently there were other logos for
Arachne on anniversaries past.  Could someone take a picture of what there was
and post it?
