Re: [lace] Re: exhibition in Dortmund, Germany
Perhaps one made in Tenerife lace? The technique is also known as "sol (sun) lace" in some parts of the world. No, not Tenerife- or Sol-lace. The doily I mentioned is bobbin-lace, around a sun figers, houses and so on are done, I think admireing the sun, and therefore the name.

Re: [lace] Re: exhibition in Dortmund, Germany
Ilse, Thanks for the great report. Very interesting. I thought I had heard that the huge late 1800 (what english speakers call victorian) fans were from when the dresses had those huge skirts, wasp waists and huge sleeves (called as "mutton legs" maybe?). Since the dresses were so oversized, the fans had to be proportional as well. Earlier fans are smaller and so as the later ones.

Re: [lace] Re: exhibition in Dortmund, Germany
Hello Tamara, Thank you for clearyfing the name of this beautiful stone. I like its colour very much. Yes it is easy to copy it but in the case of these dresses Ithink they are genuine. It's not a fault writing of dresses, there are four of them. The one in Vamberk what was I think this one of the exhibitionin Montreal. Number next in Dortmund, another one in Brussel and one in Den Haag in the costume museum. I forget to mentioned that there are a few older lace pieces to see in Dortmund as well. At the third floor together with furnitures and other items of the 19. century they decorated some Duchesse de Bruxelles and Rosaline and others. One a very big lace-fan only the lace but about 45 cm broad. I know that fans of the so called Gründerzeit about 1875/1880 were ver huge but so big and in lace. I am wondering if it ever was a fan and how this lady handled it, but looking at it and admire the work was fantastic. These laces are from the collection of Lydia Immenroth who lived from 1919 til 1998 and was a professor at the textile school at Dortmund and had a speciel interest for laces.

Thank you, Ilske, for your description of what sounds like a marvellous exhbition - I only wish I could get to see it. I was lucky enough last year to go to the OIDFA meeting in Prague and see the work of Emilie Palicková and other wonderful Czech lace makers Bohemian garnets are real garnets. They produce loads of them, as well as the beautiful glass beads that Tamara was thinking of. But please, what is a "sun doiley"? Bridget, in Watford England, where the sun is shining at last and I might be able to make lace in the garden this afternoon. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello all, In response to Ilske's and Tamara's notes I would like to contribute further information - The dress made for the 1967 Montreal World Exhibition was black/silver lace with Bohemian Garnets - these are found in central and north Bohemia. Bohemia is a part of Czech Republic. The precious stones are blood red and are cut to a point to reflect the light making the stones sparkle. The Bohemian Garnet jewellery is very beautiful and goes back to 13th century. During the OIDFA conference there was an exhibition of Bohemian Garnet Jewellery in Prague not far from the Charles Bridge. The dress exhibited in Montreal is on a permanent exhibition in the Lace Museum in Vamberk. The dress was and still is very much admired by all who see it. I wish I could see the exhibition in Dortmund.

Dear Lacefriends, Perhaps you would like to read something nice after all this bad happenings. So I'll tell you about the modern lace exhibition in the Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschiche in Dortmund. This is in the western part of Germany. There you see laces for wearing from 1925 till today. Mostly collars, some dresses and jackets and several piece of jewellery. The "oldest" piece is the "sun-doilly" from 1925 designed from Emilie Palicková, one of the famous teacher at the art-school in Prague, those of us who were there last year know how she was. And also several lace pieces from her students which became famous as Marie Vanková-Kuchynková or Eva Fialova and so on till now. Also some lace-artists from other parts of Europe. You can imagine these aren't laces made with linen or cotton, no from plastic, metall and other in former time unusual material for lacemaking. All these wonderful things are decorated on black puppets (without head and arms) "dressed" in black fabric. And are standing free not behind glass, so you can go around one figure and study it very well. The smaller pieces are behind glass and the most expensive dress, a variation from the one Eva Fialova made for the world exhibition in Montreal in 1967, which has bohemian Granate (I can't find the english word for it, sorry) in it as well. It is a small exhibition but a fascinating one, even though I have seen several of the parts I spent more then two hour there. It still runs till 7. of august 2005 and is open tuesday till sunday, Greetings Ilske - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
