Re: [lace] 3 pairs Flanders
Please, what's an apple doll? Is it a doll carved out of an apple, or a collection of apples stuck together to make a doll, or something else altogether? And do they have to be dressed as well?

re: [lace] 3 pairs Flanders (lace)
Hi everyone If any of you are not on 'chat' I have moved a response of mine to the language usage discussion, formerly in the 3 pairs Flanders thread, to chat. There you can read my deathless chatter on 'exhibit/exhibition' - in case anyone is hopeful that '3 pairs Flanders' is still about lace..here goes: I have been messing around with the unit of movements that I refer to as bobbin lace with 3 pairs, following, more or less, the technique of '3 pairs Flanders.' (you make a CTC braid with the 3 pairs, no pins, except at picots and where you will join. A variation with half-stitch it possible; I saw a necklace made this way, a picture at a website, url unknown). Tension must be even to put curves where you want them. I work on a bolster. My current project is converting a drawing of a whorl of rhododendron leaves to lace. Why had I chosen leaves - they are simply shaped and graceful, looked lovely with the shine of rain, and effective in 3 pairs, if boring after the second leaf. I'm trying different fillings with each leaf, will set the whole against a fabric background and hang it by my computer to bask in my own praise (supposing I get the project finished). -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] 3 pairs Flanders
the lumbermen's contests. And each little item in, say, the craft show (or craft exhibit) would be called ... wait for it ... an item in the craft show. In the lingo of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition (not very far from Vancouver, BC), individual items are always called 'entries'. Even when they're only there for display, and no competition is involved. Even my little corner with lace samples, books, pillowstand, pillow and myself demonstrating, has been called an 'entry' ;-( Esther Perry - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
