[lace] Univ. of Arizona Lace Digital Archives - Chinese Laces

[Jeriames]

Dear Susan,
 
Yes, there is way too much to know about lace (and textiles, in  general).  
Since I've seen no Arachne responses to your inquiry about  "Chinese 
laces", please tell us more about what you wish to understand: the  
author/document/page(s) where you found the referenced subject.  I'll take  a 
look, and 
perhaps can find more recent books that can be of help to you  - in my private 
library of books still covered by copyrights.  Here is  a repeat of the 
direct access address for laces:

There are references to "Chinese laces" that I do not understand but  
perhaps someone will enlighten or I will find the answer in subsequent issues.  
I'd like to think that Arachne will remain relevant because we support  it 
with questions & comments.  There is way too much to know & no  single lace 
maker is likely to be fluent in all forms of lace, just as a  linguist might 
know five languages rather than thirty.  That makes  Arachne a logical 
information hub for what we do.  It's a pearl of great  value.  Sincerely, 
Susan

Could the proper url for the weaving and lace archives be included at the
bottom of our posts the same as the flicker pix one.

'don't panic' - Sue Babbs is right about the url for digital archives on
weaving and lace. The other is the university's main page, where you can
find the digital archives by using the search link there, which is the
google engine, same as what you used ;)

Hello All!  Please say it isn't so!  Reading Mary Corbet's Needlenthread 
blog this morning, she said it was missing.  When I Googled, I found the 
site & was able to open random documents.  When I entered cs.arizona.edu, I 
got a completely different page & couldn't find the Digital Archives.  Not a 
techie here, so have no clue what's up.  Is there a cyberspace explanation? 
Should I be downloading more lace files in anticipation that the Google link 
that is working will soon disappear?  Many thanks for suggestions & 
counseling from the experts!  Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA

[lace] Digital Archives

[Dmt11home]

Tess has informed me that there are a number of things that my memory  
appears to be faulty about regarding the Professor and his site. 
 
Notably, John Cropper saw the professor through his final illness and took  
over the site afterward. I recalled someone named Chris, but we think that 
this  is Kris Bruland who has been handling the sale of the finished CDs. 
Apparently, I am mistaken about the Professor receiving any kind of  
financial help from the University of Arizona for the site. 
 
She shared with me the following memory of the Professor:
 
Once time on Ebay I saw that someone was trying to sell the material  
collected on the site for money and I wrote the prof and told him about it,  
thinking he would feel that he was being robbed.  Not so, he said that they  
were always trying to do that and that it didn't matter to him, his idea being 
 that all he was doing was meant to be shared by everyone even the baddies. 
What  a good guy he was--a real teacher!  I learned so much from him, and 
will  always be grateful for his tutelage and patience.  

I know we all remember him for all of his efforts to provide us with the  
wonderful gift of the Digital Archives. His good work lives on.
 
Many thanks to Tess, as well, for her tireless scanning efforts.

Kris Bruland originally had a separate web site:  Handweaving.net Hand Weaving
and Draft Digital Archive Home
http://www.handweaving.net/Home.aspx

I'm not sure if he linked it to Ralph Griswold's site while he was still alive
or not. At one point some members of Complex Weavers were adding to the
Digital Archives site but the work apparently is grueling and time consuming.

It's nice to know a site weavers find indispensable is appreciated by people
in other fields.

Hello Ann and everyone

The digital archives pertaining to lace are listed here, with links to each:

http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/topic_lace.html

and here

http://www.handweaving.net/DAHome.aspx

and you can buy CDs of them here, for instance if downloading isn't an
option.

http://www.handweaving.net/Store.aspx

While I'm at it, we have a lace gallery at the handweaving.net site which
can certainly use more entries, nice if sourced from an archive doc.,

[Laceandbits]

And there are also the Arachne archives at
http://www.mail-archive.com/lace%40arachne.com/

No index as such, but there is a search option.  This searches throught the
text as well as the titles for the key words entered.
