Re: [lace] Galerie Vlasta

[Ilske und Peter Thomsen]

Hello Janice,
When I was, together with Miriam and Pompi at Galerie Vlasta it was 
still closed(saturday after 1.oo p.m.). So we could only look trough 
the windows. But I can asume you that the czechs use things for 
stiffening pur chemie.
And here in Germany I can buy metall-thread in very bright colours so 
it could be that she uses this thread. Sorry not being more helpful in 
this point.
Greetings
Ilske

[lace] Galerie Vlasta

[Miriam]

When the lady who owns the Vlasta gallery smelled OIDFA people around she 
closed down her store and disappeared.I tried several times to see the 
gal;lery from inside but it was always closed so I had to satisfy myself 
with what I have seen through the window. I also understood from some 
people that she was quite rude to them.

But from my own experience re silver and gold thread. They are using 
different threads, not the ones we get either from DMC or Madeira. Their 
thread \is better twisted  and a bit thicker. I bought a few rolls but 
don't know yet what I'll do with them. But I have seen that some of the 
lacemakers (not from the gallery) use Kreinick together with their gold and 
silver.

The Czecks also use a special stiffener but I can't tell you exactly what, 
from what I understood from our UK friends it is not allowed in the UK.
