[lace] List is quiet
I too have been busy clearing my pillows for a week's course of Cantu next week, after going to Le Puy for their annual couvige.You can see some photos here: https://goo.gl/photos/sAaZnvYsF8nEE96x6 Both Marie-Thérèse Bonniol and Denise Etienne wer there with their salt-crystal lace; Denise's seemed to me less brilliant than when I first saw it eight years ago; she says the problem is the dust. Marie-Thérèse Bonniol had two pieces I haven't seen before, but hers are under glass. I asked if they altered with time; she said that the originals, done in 2001 hadn't budged at all, the only time she had some trouble was when she took them to an exhibition in the north of France, they weren't framed, and the weather was wet (as it often is in the north of France). She had to remove them to a drier place before the salt dissolved..; Apparently she hasn't done any "salty' lace for several years. Missed Florence Quinette - but I see she was in Australia! Lots of lovely lace to see, and although there seem to be fewer and fewer vendors - I miss Bart and Francis who have some beautiful unusual threads - there was plenty to tempt. Why is it that however many different sizes, colours types of thread you have, you never have the right one for the next thing you want to make?

Re: [lace] List is quiet
Hallo I made a further experuiment with a garden ornament You can see the pictures on my bolg. http://fdrj.de/index.php/frauke/fraukes-blog This piece was created during my studies without purpose. In 2006 it received an update with Scoubidou bands and a plant stake for garden decoration The weather was working on material. The plastic has become brittle. It was time for a makeover. Now I painted the bobbin lace with nail polish, to creat new areas. Frauke Lorenz Germany - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] List is quiet
Hello I have been busy all this week helping to run the Australian Lace Guild annual Conference in Melbourne Australia. We have 90 people attending in total. There are five classes : Florence Quinette from France teaching Bayeaux Lace Pat Milne - Torchon Annette Lally - Honiton Vickie Taylor - Lace jewellery Margaret Stephens - Needle lace ( amaelia ars from her just released book ) ((sorry about the spelling!!)) There is also an evening program of lectures and a tutors showcase. On Wednesday there was an excursion to a historic cottage and to the Embroiderers Guild to view their lace collection and see their current exhibition. Altogether a wonderful week of learning and catching up with lacemakers from around Australia. Next years Conference will be in Launceston Tasmania. Check out the ALG Website later in the year for more details.

[lace] List is quiet - been busy
I wondered about everyone but I was busy myself. So far this month I've attended two regular lace meetings and our annual Lace Day, taught a short bobbin lace class in Tillamook, and am trying to get my things ready for a 3-day Bucks class starting tomorrow. The teacher threw in an extra chore of drawing a diagram of the pattern I'm using in the class. (There's no diagram or picture with this particular pattern.) In addition, I've put away all the patio furniture and garden decorative items before the strong winter storm that's hitting later today. And I'm chairman of a sale at church in another week. I've been finishing my projects for that sale. I've never drawn a Bucks diagram before -- only Torchon. It's been a challenge. There must be some basic rules/methods that I'm not aware of. I enlarged the pattern 250 percent and have been making a lot of use of my eraser. I can see why some diagrams are 500+ percent larger than the actual pattern. Now I need to run some errands while it's raining gently before the main storm comes in. Rain is forecast for the foreseen future with an even stronger storm (remains of a typhoon) hitting Saturday. Lovely weather to drive 30 miles each way each day to the lace class. I'm really glad Lace Day was last week when we had a nice day.

Janis - that looks about right. Brian Lenin in Australia looking for Pompi Parry was the last one I got. Don't worry - you are still with us. Canada was celebrating Thanksgiving last weekend and it was Columbus Day in the US with many people attending the Ithaca Lace weekend.

[lace] Lace List is Quiet
Woody - you have Lots of knowledge to impart. Don't be so modest!!! :)) :)) And there must be others in Tasmania also on the List that we have not heard from. Tell us what is going on in Tasmania. You people are always saying that you are the forgotten folks - well, now is your chance to beat your own drum :)) For those not good at geography - Tasmania is the little heart-shaped island at the bottom of Australia. It has areas of great beauty, awesome ancient forests, - and a lot of very good lacemakers! Lets hear from some of them! from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, where it is a hot day today.

Re: [lace] Lace List is Quiet
I must say, I'm always surprised when I meet lacemakers from other parts of Australia, to find out how many are members of Arachne, but who never contribute anything! At the last conference of the Australian Lace Guild, I was asked by the Secretary of the Guild to chair a meeting of Arachne members one evening. I was very surprised to see how many people were there, and how reluctant members were to write a short report of our conference for all you unfortunate people who couldn't be there! One lady commented: I've never posted on Arachne, and I'm not going to start now!! Eventually, as you will remember, I did get a couple of brave souls who agreed to write a small report, and if I remember correctly, there *were* interested comments back from those of you living outside Australia.
