Do know, Brian we all care for you too and hope you stay healthy! I would never 
describe you as “slack” and I am delighted you have found something delightful 
to do outside!

[lace] Update from Brian

2021-02-05 Thread Brian Lemin

Hi All,

I think its confession time.


I have been so slack with research and writing during Covid even though 
(comparably Australia has done well). The truth of the matter is that i 
pretty well have a Collectors Guide to "Honiton" bobbins ready. Covid 
has really held up the Downton Guide, but a fare amount of work has been 
done on that too.



The trouble is that after those two projects are on the net the majority 
of topics on bobbins we have covered.   A few more articles will come 
out from time to time I am sure as it is a topic that really has "No end"?



Meantime i am making and flying RC model gliders (Slopesoarers)


What is of importance is that IOLI has accepted the Lace Biography of 
Marian Powys I wrote and part one "could" be out in the next issue.  
Then part two an issue in the future.



She was English, a brother to the literary  Powys brothers, went to 
America and became a world expert on lace.( Particularly Devon lace)


An amazing lady whose individual abilities and success was overshadowed 
by her  brothers achievements.  Hers are just as good and she was as 
successful as they were.



Please look after yourselves, you have been good friends of mine for 
many years, Your help, support and generosity in donating me images has 
made my contribution possible.



Re articles. I/we (she who remains in the background of all my work) 
have no objection to articles published on the Arizona site being used 
as long as you attribute it and do not make any changes  to them.  You 
must be warned that those articles reflect my journey of learning about 
bobbins and my early writing was based on quite sparse knowledge and 
research. We hope we are getting better.
