Re: [lace] scans received for website list

[Bertrans1]

I would also like to remind those who joined in the Exchange that your 
ornaments should be posted by now. If you have not done so, please do so this 
week. If you will experience difficulty either finishing or completing your 
masterpiece, please,  please let Janet, Jenny and me know so we can help you. 
We have heard from many that they have received their ornaments already.  
Thank you to all who have made this exchange so successful. 
Sallie, Janet and Jenny

Re: [lace] Christmas card exchange

[Bertrans1]

Jeanette,
We are so pleased your card actually arrived from Lin. She was concerned about 
it's arrival and know she is very happy today knowing it arrived safely. 
Thank you for not opting out. Know this is a very nice ending to your postal 
strike.  We hope you will join in again. 
Sallie and Janet

 Those of you living in countries with good postal services, should
 appreciate the service thoroughly!  We had a postal strike lasting several
 months in South Africa last year.  I have always taken part in the Christmas
 card exchange and last year contemplated withdrawing from the exchange due
 to the strike.  I was paired with Lin Hudren who patiently waited until the
 strike was over and posted her card on 10 Dec from Nevada in the USA but
 there was no sign of the card arriving here.  I had all but given up hope
 when the card suddenly arrived today - a double surprise - first the
 surprise of the card finally arriving and then the surprise of seeing the
 beautiful card  in the flesh!!  My card to her??  Fortunately a friend's
 son came visiting from the USA and took my card with and posted it in the
 USA!  A happy ending eventually!

[lace] Christmas Card Exchange

[Bertrans1]

We are getting ready to send out the pairings and thought we should send out a 
last minute reminder to those who forgot to send us your name, address  number 
of ornaments you want to makeup.  So if you forgot or misplaced the details, 
please send your name and address. If you need the details again, please e-mail 
us and we will send them to you offline. 
Thanks to all who have already sent your info. We hope those who have joined 
will enjoy their surprise ornaments as much as we have enjoyed making this 
happen.

[lace] Christmas Card Ornament Exchange 2014

[Bertrans1]

Hi all,

Janet and I thought we would remind those of you who have not already signed 
up, that we are nearing the time we will select the pairings for the exchange. 
So, if you have not already signed up for a partner, please consider doing so. 
It is a lot of fun and we know you will enjoy the experience.  Besides the fun 
of making the ornament and mailing off to a distant location, is the fun of 
receiving a card and ornament.  Plus seeing them all when Jenny uploads them 
all for us to drool over. 

When we sent out the original announcement, we received a comment regarding the 
card you will use when you send the ornament and skill level required. Please, 
please do not hesitate or decide to not join us because you feel your lace will 
not be good enough. Your lace comes from your heart and will be treasured by 
whoever receives it because it was made with love. 
Next, regarding the card. Whether you make one yourself or purchase one or just 
put your ornament or piece of lace in an envelope alone, it does not matter. 
What matters is that you took the time to make something. 
Another issue addressed after our first announcement related to what can be 
sent.  Whatever you take the time to make and send is up to you. Your partner 
will enjoy whatever you send. 
We hope this extra info helps to sway those on the range fence to send us your 
names, addresses and number of ornaments you would like to send out. 

As a reminder please note the following dates:

1 OCT - 22 OCT 2014
- send us your name and address
- tell us how many cards you would like to make
- also, if you have any special requests as to where you would like to send 
your cards, please let us know
- please send your requests to either of us at the following addresses or reply 
to this e-mail and we will do our best to carry out your wishes.

Janet from Bridlington, Yorkshire, UK. janettheak...@hotmail.com

Sallie from Wyoming, USA bertra...@gmail.com

3 NOV 2014
Pairings will be sent out to all who desire to participate

1 DEC 2013 - all cards should be postmarked to your partner

We would also like to provide a couple ground rules
- If you want to share your work and the joy of the season, please send us your 
name. 
However, if you send us your name and you are paired, please follow through.  
It is most disappointing if someone fails to follow through and their partner 
has gone to the effort of making and sending their work and card

- If for some reason, after you have been paired you find you cannot follow 
through, please let us know and we will reassign your name to someone else

- Again, if you feel uncomfortable sharing your work because you are just 
beginning, please don't opt out.  We will love your work all the more because 
you tried.

Many Thanks,

Janet  Sallie

Re: [lace] contributing

[Bertrans1]

I was not going to say anything until your comments Lorelei. I liked your 
comments. 
When I met my dear friend for the first time (we had been communicating via 
e-mail only as she lives in the UK) I showed her a bookmark I had made. I was 
so proud of the fact I could finish something. She said it was wonderful, 
however I could tell she was holding back. When I convinced her I wanted her 
honest opinion. She responded with you do spiders differently here in 
America!  I asked her t show me how she does them and wonder of wonders I 
could actually see the spider legs!!  
Then I took my first ever class and had completely the opposite reaction from 
the instructor I was paying to teach me. She looked at what I was doing  
picked up my scissors  cut all the bobbins off my pillow. Then she said I 
needed to learn the the basic stitches and walked away. That ended my efforts 
to learn that type lace and my desire to never take a courts with that teacher 
again. 
After that I was hesitant to take another class until I took a class with 
Sylvie Nugyen. Talk about patience. She was fantastic and sold me on Russian 
tape lace. This year at the Convention I took a course with Lia Baumeister.  I 
must admit I need way more lessons than we re programmed for this class.  At 
one point when I was really struggling I told her the problem is I can't read 
Swedish. She laughed  said but this is a diagram not words!  Then she 
proceeded to color code the diagram so I could better follow what needed to be 
done.  I actually finished a small piece of lace!!  More importantly she took 
the time to work with me  didn't CUT my threads!!  Lia's class on Russian tape 
lace was fantastic.  She started me on a fan and spent time with me to do 
leaves which I am struggling with.  So, bottom line I have had three fantastic 
teachers and one very poor example of a teacher plus tons of help from Arachne. 
Robin, please don't give up  if you follow the advise from those who have 
responded you will have the courage to tell those who downgrade you to jump in 
the lake.  My friend in the UK is constantly telling me to not be so critical 
of my work and is always encouraging as have been Sylvie  Lia.  Please 
remember you can always chalk up the bad experience to ignorance on the other 
person's part.  For every bad experience there are tons of really good ones as 
others have said in their comments.

[lace] Christmas Card Exchange 2013

[bertrans1]

To all. 
Guess I am the most derelict in announcing I have received all my ornaments 
from the exchange this past Christmas.  They are most treasured. 
We had a wonderful turnout and had only one person fail to send the promised 
ornaments.  We however recovered from this unfortunate event and the recipient 
received a beautiful ornament in substitution. 
Thank you again to all who participated. 
For those who did not participate or those who just what to dream please go to 
Jenny Brandis' web page to see them all organized for this year as well as 
precious years. She has done a beautiful job of organizing them.   Hopefully, 
this will entice you to join us again next year.

Re: [lace] Slideshow added to 2013 Arachne Card Exchange website

[bertrans1]

Jenny,
The slideshow is fantastic. It is very easy to see the beautiful cards and 
ornaments.  We were secretly wishing they had all come to us, however this is 
the next best thing. 
Thank you so much for making it possible for everyone to see the beautiful work 
of so many.

Re: [lace] Name the Good Teachers, Please!

[bertrans1]

Jeri and all, 
I can name a good long distance teacher - Janet in Bridlington.  I remember 
when she first saw my spiders. Her comment was that is lovely - they are 
different from ours. After pressing her to explain, she said we do them 
differently and then showed me how she was taught. Light bulb on - there were 
actual defined legs on her spiders. Seems I had not been taught to do extra 
twists on the legs. Now it is all long distance teaching and with loads of 
directions and pictures, I am doing tape lace and getting ready to try a table 
cloth she found in a magazine she almost tossed!
I also took a tape lace class with Sylvie Nugyen. She was so patient and made 
the class fun. 
On the sad side I took a class where the teacher said I was doing it all wrong, 
cut my bobbins off the pillow and that ended that. I have yet to try again to 
do the lace I paid a small fortune to learn!!
So there are good and bad. I have been fortunate to have two good teachers and 
am slowly learning. 
Sallie in WY USA
 It occurs to me that very few teachers have been referred to by name .
 But, please name the GOOD ones!

[lace] Christmas Card Exchange - 2013

[bertrans1]

All,
Sorry for the confusion. Not certain what the computer was doing with the 
e-mail sent earlier. So we are trying again to see if it comes through correct 
this time:
Hi,
Janet and I have volunteered to head up the Christmas card exchange this year 
with the all important help from Jenny in the uploading of the cards for all to 
see in December. 
The time line for preparing and sending the cards is:

22 SEP - 22 OCT 2013 - send us your name if you desire to participate
1 NOV 2013 - pairings will be sent out to all who desire to participate
1 DEC 2013 - all cards should be postmarked to your partner

We would also like to provide a couple ground rules.

Re: [lace] commemorative/digitizing

[Bertrans1]

All, 
Is it possible to consider a transfer like Clay or Alex (can't remember which) 
recommended. Plus a bobbin  tools motif for those who would prefer that. This 
way, there would be something for both bobbin lacers as well as those who do 
needle lace or tatting, etc.  
Since the anniversary is 2 years away, it seems at this point that too much 
time is being expended trying to decide. If someone could put together all the 
suggestions, then offer the consolidated proposal to all. Arachnians could then 
vote on the one they like best. The results of the voting could be reviewed 
with the top 3 being offered to all for their choice as to what they would like 
for their personal memento. For example for bobbin lacers a bobbin and tools 
design could fe offered, a transfer motif for a cover cloth (bobbin lace) tool 
bag,  shuttle for tatters. For needle lacers a transfer for a travel bag for 
their projects  supplies. Then for all a decorated memory stick. 
This way, all have a vote in what is selected and the discussion is a bit more 
constructive. 
Just a thought  if you all disagree I understand. However, it would seem there 
has been enough discussion. 
At this point, I would be nice to hear more about what everyone is making  
suggestions for problems others are experiencing in their projects.

Re: [lace] Posting

[Bertrans1]

All,
Jane has hit the nail on the head. I comment rarely, but that does not mean I 
have learned nothing!  I have even gained some friends from England to 
Australia to Virginia, Florida  some in between. If Arachne weren't there, I 
would never have met them. Just because we don't post as often as those few who 
do, does NOT mean we are not learning from each of you. 
The Golden Rule, regardless of faith is the standard that should be followed  
encouragement to those who are struggling in silence can be passed on in 
encouraging posts about lace. 
I have personally gained considerable insight into lace origins from the posts 
and have especially enjoyed the history of bobbins from Brian.  Alex and Jeri 
have given me good advise and Janet is a God-send. Without criticizing my work 
when I first met her, she said you make spiders differently than we do!  
Rather than saying you did it wrong or that looks terrible (like one lacer told 
me) she showed me how she learned. Loe and behold, when she did it you could 
actually see the legs of the spider!!  Now I can make spiders that really look 
like spiders!  So, bottom line, please be patient with us  lace will survive 
for generations to come. That said, I am probably the ruler of impatience.

Re: [lace] lace clothing

All,
My husband  I went to a dinner for Cheyenne Frontier Days last week. Miss 
Frontier  her Lady-in-Waiting were there. They both were wearing white lace 
tops (with black under tops), jeans  hand tooled cowboy boots. The lace tops 
were machine made, but very nice. Normally, they wear cowboy shirts or 
something similar, so this was a nice change.

 It was fun to see the lace clothes.  For the general public, I can see some 
 of these styles being worn, but with a lining.
 
 I have been looking at some clothing catalogs I get (low-end modest price 
 variety) and have noticed a high number of fashions including lace.  I 
 counted over 20 items in one catalog with lace on them or made entirely of 
 lace.  Some were crocheted and some machine lace.  Short bolero lace  
 sweaters seem to be a new fashion.  There were also long sweaters and blouses 
 made entirely of lace, as well as lace trimming on many different styles of 
 garments.
 
 When we pursue our 'Wear Lace In Public' campaign. we may need to make a 
 special effort to let people know that our lace is handmade and unique.

Malvery,
I begged the same thing last week as our fires are getting worse. Pretty soon 
the Rockies will have no trees or vegetation  left!!  The smoke has finally 
abated somewhat, but it has been very difficult for the people who live in the 
areas where the fires are the worst  the firefighters have had a very 
difficult time.  The worst part is that not only is nature causing
The fires both here in Wyoming and Colorado, but people are causing them too!!  
In Fuernsey, Wyoming near the very famous Orwfon Trail site  Signature Rock 
were the pioneers craned their names  dates of passing through, the fire is 
supposed to have been started by humans!!
So, we are also praying England will share their rain - BUT no more lightening!!

Re: [lace] Third Embroidery/Lace Book by Gail Marsh, Gawthorpe Hall Collection

[bertrans1]

The embroidery book is also on Barnes  Noble web site for $16.29 new and
$14.91 sued/new from secondary book sellers.  The highest price from the
secondary book market is $38.79 for the book direct from an authorized book
dealer in the UK.  So, I fuss bottom line is you can get it for as little
as $14.91 to $38.79.  However, fi you get it from Barnes and have a
membership with them it is $16.29 less 10% membership discount, and free
shipping.  This brings the book to $14.84 plus applicable tax.
Just a thought for those looking to get the book.

Re: [lace] Re: Lace Class

Susan,
I don't knit, so don't understand the terms you used with the woman you so 
kindly helped in the store, but I do  understand her frustration.  This is how 
I have felt while trying to do lace, but I have two teachers who have the 
patience of Job (like you demonstrated to the woman you met in the shop) and I 
am learning.  They both have drawn me detailed diagrams and I am slowly picking 
up the techniques - it is becoming English   is no longer total Greek to me. 
 Right now I am learning how to go around a curve and the diagrams are a wonder 
in my understanding of how it is done.

I was not going to comment on this, but after Linda's sad story below, I 
decided to do so.  I am still learning the basics and my two teachers (Janet  
Jo) have been nothing BUT patient  neither have ever given me the feelings 
Clay and Linda got from their teachers.  I would not be where I am now without 
both Janet  Jo  the others along the way who have stopped to help me out.  
This includes the Bridlington Lace Group.  Wish you all could have these

 It has affected my willingness to join other classes, preferring to teach 
 myself whenever possible.  Despite believing myself to be rational and tough, 
 my feelings are there too and have to be overcome every time.  I'm sure no

[lace] Lace Class, Lace Day Lace Fair

[bertrans1]

As you all know I am very new to lace  have had many lavers helping me.  I 
would like to publication thank you all.  Plus would like to tell you about a 
wonderful experience I just had in Yorkshire, England.  We flew over for about 
15 days with our dear friend Janet  her husband.  While there Janet worked 
with me  then took me to her local lace group.  They were wonderful  so 
helpful.  My first experience was at a lace day in Pudsy where I met lavers 
from the region.  Then a few days later was lace class.  Francis, their teacher 
lent me her pillow, bobbins  thread.  Then started me on my first ever snake.  
I not only was able to finish it, by did a second one as well!!  Two finished 
projects in a row!
Then between seeing sights in (I think 7  counties) the area (4 miles short of 
1500 miles) we found time to attend my first ever lace fair.  I was fortunate 
to meet Christine Springett who was kind enough to explain her new ornament 
design to me  signed a copy of the new ornament pricking  directions.  What a 
kind person. I also met many many vendors (think here were 30 there)  most 
were very willing to take a few minutes to answer my questions which were 
probably pretty basic to them.  Regardless, they were so helpful and patient.  
So thanks to Janet, Frances, their class, Christine  all the others I met at 
these events I had a super time  learned so much.  To those of you who have 
never experienced any of these, it is well worth it to go wherever you are.
Here in the States, I cannot ever forget Jo Ann  her patience of Job with my 
bumblings.

So, if you and your friends would be interested please send the card  and your

I'm still making yards of fine point ground edging and as usual my

I wonder if you can guess how many times the roller rotated before I

[lace] Fwd: Fw: The Queensland floods = photos

[bertrans1]

I know this is not lace related, but thought you all might like to see some
of the pictures of what happened in Queensland.  A friend of ours sent these
from the Netherlands.  The picture referencing sightseers reminded us of the
tornado we went through on New Years’s Eve.  The sightseers are almost worse
than the disaster because they hinder the clean up and don’t always
understand what the victims are going through - example the woman on the
steps.

Hope this isn’t too away from lace - if so, please do hit the delete
button.  I just thought it was important to see what our fellow lace friends
have had to endure.

Re: [lace] Bobbin Lace Instructions - Written Out for the Teacherless

[bertrans1]

Clay and all,
For now think I am way newer than you and without benefit of knowing how to
knit or crochet, I really need the instructions and diagrams.
My dear teacher in England is sooo patient with me, but if I didn't have
her very detailed instructions, I would never have been able to complete my
first ever angel!!  I am very new and have not even gotten to the point
where I can look at a pricking and determine what type lace it is.  I have
many prickings from a lady who had done lace for many many years and she had
no diagrams or instructions for them.  Until I learn more than I know now,
these are a mystery to me.

 and charts had come into play!!!  I took to them like a  duck to water!!!

 Which is why now... I have a hard time plodding through  the written out
 instructions of old lacemaker's patterns like these.   Thank goodness for
 diagrams and charts!!!
 I guess this just proves that  I'm a newbie after  all!

 Clay
 ---

 Another drum roll -- from Jeri!  There are people who like written-out  in
 plain language bobbin lace instructions.  My first lacemaking books
 included the series from Christine Springett (England).  They are still
  available,
 and she thought of every type of person's learning preference for  making
 lace.

 Liberally illustrated with a picture of the finished lace, a pricking to
 copy, and a enlarged drawing of the pricking with clarifying notes in the
 margin.  Plus a written set of instructions explaining every step for
 achieving the pictured results.

 From my experience of learning to make lace in the 1980's, I would really
 recommend the following book to any beginner, so she can determine  what
 her
 learning style is:  Lace for Children of all Ages (72 pages),  which
 has the famous beginner's snake, hearts, wedding horseshoes, edgings,
 Christmas items.

 And, if you have equipment to play it on, get the video Successful Bobbin
 Lacemaking for all Occasions that was made to go with Lace for
 Children .   I still pop this video into a player when a  beginner
 comes to
 visit.  It is very English, and makes me feel  I've made a dream trip to
 lace
 fairy land.  Starts with how to manage  your pillow - thread, bobbins,
 cover cloths, etc.  Someone who has  been interrupted for several years can
 go
 back to it for a quick  refresher course.  You can stop it anywhere, and
 replay a  section if you don't quite understand.This, and the book
  with
 the prickings can get you off to a good start.  If you are not  near a lace
 teacher or group, are a busy careerwoman, housebound,  wanting to teach
 children, consider this..

 Holly Van Sciver (lace supplier in the US) has a special list of the
 Springett books and videos at _www.vansciverbobbinlace.com_
 (http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com)

 Other Nations:  Remember that the videos made for American  equipment will
 not work.  Buy videos made for your equipment.  I  believe these are still
 available to you.

Thank you, Brian, for posting that Ebay number for the Abbott bobbins,. As
soon as I saw them I realized I had a similar one, - had a look for it, -
and Yes! I have one!!  So now I can add the makers name to it!! It is fairly
slim, and I see I have spangled it, so it came down from Grandma without its
original spangle. - Nevertheless, it works well!! - as do most of my old
bobbins.  I have one bone bobbin put away in the safe, as it has a damaged
head which snags threads,  but I use all the others.

 

 

On another question, - I have the Digest form of Lace, and I have started
getting messages (in this digest - 2 messages) that are total gobbledygook -

Re: [lace] black dye

[bertrans1]

Many years ago, my sister in law made her wedding dress.  under skirt was
taffeta and the over skirt was lace from the bodice to the floor.  When she
finished the gown, she took it to the cleaners to have it pressed.  When
they returned it to her, we discovered they had pressed the lace against the
taffeta and the lace design was pressed into the taffeta and had changed the
color of the taffeta.  So think it might not necessarily be the iron that
caused the problem, but the fact that the iron was too hot and was pressed
directly against the lace.  Just a thought as it was truly a devastating
experience for my sister-in-law, who two days before the wedding ended up
buying a dress off the rack because her beautiful one-of-a-kind was
destroyed.  Believe the best way to press the lace is to put a white towel
over it and then press it with an iron that is not too hot; e.g., synthetic
or silk setting.

 I should add that, besides the black collar that ran all the little fibres

 white cotton cloth underneath the lace on my ironing board.  When the iron

 blue, I had thought some of those early black dyes might have been green.

They look crocheted at first glance but if you zoom in the structure
resembles a needlelace, or drawn thread work on the first one. Sun
lace or macramé lace perhaps? The lace looks like it is part of the
tablecloth fabric, rather than being attached? The large-scale pointy
trim resembles network.
Just a guess, the detail isn't clear on my screen.

[lace] Lace at St Louis Botanical Gardens

[bertrans1]

My husband and I went to the St. Louis Botanical Garden on 30 DEC to see the
train exhibit and then wandered through the gardens.  We found our way to
the founder's home and what we think must have been the breakfast room
overlooking the gardens was a beautifully set table with a lace table cloth
on it.  The second picture is of a table in a sitting room - also with a
beautiful lace cloth on the table.  Think the punch bowl and table
decoration take away from the beauty of the cloth, but you can still see the
detail. Thought I would share the picture and maybe someone can tell me what
type lace it is.
Now we are cleaning up the damage we incurred when the tornado hit our house
and property.  We have a great deal of damage, but there are people on the
road above us who were much less fortunate and many who have no house
remaining.

First wish we had some of your 30C temps!  Not really, but it would be nice

Re the books, may I concur with Jean.  Your idea is great for earning money
for tutors and it also gives others an opportunity to read the books before
they are passed on.

On another note, is it possible to get the ISBN for these books?  I would
also like to read them.

 Hi Jean,

We have a system at our monthly meetings of the Aust. Lace Guild in
 South Australia which works brilliantly.  We donate books to the trading
 table (organised by our Librarian) and we pay 50cents per book (fiction
 novels).  After reading them they are given back to the trading table and
 someone else buys them for 50cents.  If we have more than one person
 interested when the book first arrives, we sometimes write their name inside
 the book in pencil then pass the book on to the next person on the list.  By
 the time we've finished with it if nobody else needs/wants it the books are
 usually donated to the local thrift shops or old people's homes.  This way
 we recycle and also we earn money for our Guild which is banked into our
 Tutor's Fund which pays for visiting tutors.

Hope this helps with your dilemma.  I haven't read these books yet so
 I'd best go looking at our local library as they haven't turned up on our
 trading table.  Please can someone let me know the name of the first book?

 Ta muchly,
