[lace] Lace Museum in Burano, Italy

2014-03-12 Thread Tony Shirley
I just found this article in the Italy Magazine and thought you would find it
very interesting about the lace collection in Burano.   Definitely looks like
it is worth visiting, but if you can't there is also a short video in this
link.

Hi Lace Fans,

I just found these acrylic lace stamps  by Anna Griffin for sale on the Home
Shopping Network (HSN) in the US.   They might be a nice addition to your
lacemaking.

[lace] Lace in US postage...

2008-09-24 Thread Tony Shirley
Hello Everyone,

I just came across this site where you can get specialized US postage.   I put
Lace in the Search and this is what I came up with.   There are some here
that you may find of interest.   If you  go through several pages you will
find some other nice ones too.  You can also put in different products under
the Find dropdown.  There are some pretty mousepads too.
All disclaimers apply as I have never seen this site before.   Enjoy.

Hi Christine,

Jenny had suggested a French site with some good info.   If you don't speak
French (I don't) I have found that you can get a google translation.   Do
realize that this translation isn't totally accurate but you can kind of get
the idea of what it is about.

especially the Trucs et astuces
I have jsut looked at the pictures :)

[lace] Hairwork (hairweaving) info and resources

2005-03-05 Thread Tony Shirley
 Dear Arachne Friends,

I had taken a short course in hairwork at a museum conference I attended
several years ago.  This book was the one we were also told was a good
resource.
http://www.hedgehoghandworks.com/catalog/BKWSD001.shtml
Amazon also has this book.

We used horsehair which we purchased at
http://www.hitchingpostsupply.com/pilot.asp?pg=horsehair
It is also used in equestrian jewelry for show horses, bows for violins, flies
for fishing and various art crafts.

a couple more horsehair sources but I haven't tried these:
http://www.thetailstore.com/horsehair.htm
http://www.horsehair.ca/


Some other sites with info:
http://www.hairwork.com/

http://sohe.wisc.edu/depts/hlatc/pixelsexhibit/hair.html

http://www.costumes.org/store/100pages/BOOK19TH.HTM

 I have 2 pieces of hair jewelry and they mean a lot to me because they
represented a person's  love for someone very close to them. Hair does not
deteriorate because it is not a living thing and so will last indefinitely.  I
have a lock of hair attached to a Civil War ambrotype picture! (1860's)
http://www.common-place.org/vol-02/no-02/fried/early-photography.shtml

I'm sure this is MUCH more than you ever wanted to know but I hope I have
helped a little.

Now back to lurking,

SHIRLEY PRIMAVERAnear Green Bay, Wisconsin USA
where we got another inch of snow and the temps don't want to get out of the
20's.  We are hoping for some thawing this weekend.
