Dear Jean and David,
Thank you! Who did the photography?
Did everyone notice on the Lace Wine swan label by Lauran Sundin that the
gold wire, purple thread, and pearls contains her initials, and that it is
finished as a necklace? Maybe her students at Waddesdon Manor in September
will see it.
The architectural and lacy ironwork are fabulous, beautifully framed with
tree branches, structural elements, etc. The black swan is fantastic.
Viewing these photos reminded me of Our Lacemakers of Maine handout for
demonstrations. It is a folded-in-half sheet of paper, that opens like a
book. On the front is our logo by Lori Howe (Lacefairy) and an April 29, 1939
quote I found from Coco Chanel:
"I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the
fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which
the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not
think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or
precise origin."
Jean and David, the photos of Adelaide you have put on the OIDFA site are
superb. Thanks for all you both do for Lace.
