[lace] Mounting lace for display
Thank to Joepieâs kind efforts, I was finallyâafter a lot of searchingâable to find the âWhite Coated Metal Ring For Craftsâ20cm/Metal Wire & Craft Hoopsâ. They can be found through Amazonâbut in Britain only! If you want them in the US, you can find them, but instead of costing 1.90 you will have to pay over $40 for the same thing. The suggestion that one might use lampshade rings is unfortunately not a useful one, as they are made of a lighter wire than is used in these rings. It is easy to find brass ones of the correct size (3mm thickness of wire) but Lynâs idea that they could be painted wouldnât work for me. I have no idea where I got my first three ringsâin a set of 3â, 5â, and 8â diametersâbut it may well have been at one of the congresses where suppliers display so many delightful treasures. In any case, perhaps a supplier on Arachne might be able to check for availability in the US and perhaps elsewhere. Thanks again to all who wrote with suggestions.

Hi fellow Arachnids, For white (powder coated) metal rings I use the rings for lamp-shades. Many paper/parchment lampshades utilise a wire ring at the top and bottom. These are freely availablein several sizes in craftshops as well as on the internet (Amazon to name but one) I have just checked, Amazon has epoxy coated white rings the 40 cm ones are around £16 to 17 for 5 and 30 cm about £11 for 5 and 15 cm @ £8 for 5 rings. Dreamcatcher rings will also get you there. Happy lace making. Joepie, East Sussex where it has been a lovely spring day today.

Metal, white, but not silver or gold. I have looked through the internet without success. Thanks for any suggestions.
