The lace shows in a way the feeling of the society. Ilske - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] Names
Alex says, âAs it is rare to find a piece that can be traced back to its place of origin, perhaps we need to come to an agreement regarding classification by technique, bearing in mind that lacemakers did not work rigidly to a set of rules. The same technique may be found in laces made in different countries, even if only occasionally and they will cause trouble.â In the case of Bedfordshire, what would you call it if you were classifying it by technique? On a basic level it is a guipure bobbin lace, which was made in many places and at many times. But, Bedfordshire, whether made in Bedfordshire or elsewhere, tends to imply a stylistic aspect, sort of a mid 19th century lace inclined to have roses in it, or possibly paisleys. Stopping at âguipure bobbin laceâ seems to be too general. But going further is also perplexing.

Re: [lace] Names of "lacey" organisations

Whether or not the word 'the' is actually included in their official title, I've never heard anyone refer to them without. In none of them is the word 'the' emphasised. They'd just sound odd without it. Jean in Poole I've just pulled my copies of 'The Lacemaker' and there on the front cover is 'The Lacemakers' Circl' - this set me to thinking as I've just had to undergo literacy training at work (not because of the dire state of my literacy but it did help but because I'm coaching literacy and numeracy) anyway ... the 'The' infront of Brit groups is not an affectation, it's simply correct usage of the language. We don't talk about 'Bible' but 'The Bible' - it's just how english is worded Regards Liz in London I'm back _blogging_ (http://journals.aol.com/thelacebee/thelacebee) my latest lace piece - have a look by clicking on the link or going to _http://journals.aol.com/thelacebee/thelacebee_ (http://journals.aol.com/thelacebee/thelacebee) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
