[lace] Square lace bobbins
I was noticing that I don't see square lace bobbins on ebay so I decided to paint some and list them on ebay. I have a couple there now. One will be ending real soon. I am planning on continuing to paint more and selli g them. Some of you might have some of my Celtic ones that i painted years ago. I like the square bobbins myself when I make Milanese Lace since there are a lot of sewings. What about the rest of you out there? What type of bobbins do you use and why? Sent from Yahoo!

[lace] Silver bobbins
Dear David and all, I have been in contact with Rhona, Frank Newborn's daughter. She and her mother have been delighted to hear how his work is valued by lacemakers and tatters. But she told me that she never made bobbins. Her contribution was to advise her father about lace and to test his bobbins. So the RKN in the silver mark on my silver bobbins does not refer to her, and I am no nearer knowing who made them. But it was very nice to receive her delightful letter.

[lace] re Fan in Flanders lace
Last week I posted this message but apart from kind people making nice comments on the Cluny fan, nobody has said anything about a fan in Flanders lace. Has anybody ever seen a fan in Flanders lace? Jeanette Fischer, Western Cape, South Africa where winter has a very firm hold. Can anybody direct me in the direction of a pricking for a fan in Flanders lace? A friend makes mainly fans and would like to make one in each type of lace. She has now strated learning Flanders with the purpose of making a fan. Her latest fan in Cluny can be seen here http://capelaceguild.tumblr.com/ - please scroll down on the page.

Re: [lace] Old lace magazines
Never ever through anything out. Firstly give or sell them to other lacemakers in your area. Many lace guilds or groups have a mechanism to recycling old magazines / books etc to newer members be it a sign at a lace day saying 'free to a good home' or selling them for a small cost and using the money for library books. Secondly many OP shops will accept them and sell them on to interested parties. my knitting group always goes there for extra knitting needles and old knitting patterns. Thirdly donate them to a local school or church group for their annual fair, most have a secondhand or preloved table with books and other bits and pieces. I once bought a huge selection of tatting patterns at a charity fair (these were taken from magazines and on the surface did not look good but the patterns were lovely). Forthly offer to send out a list of what you have (ie we contact you privately) and if we want them then we can pay you the postage for your magazines. Finally there is ebay Anna who has just returned from a long weekend away in Canberra.

Re: [lace] Fan in Flanders lace
Jeanette has asked, Can anybody direct me in the direction of a pricking for a fan in Flanders lace? A friend makes mainly fans and would like to make one in each type of lace. She has now started learning Flanders with the purpose of making a fan. I have two patterns for fans in binche that I got from Anny Noben years ago. They are both ambitious patterns that require large numbers of bobbins. I've never seen them available anywhere. If your friends is interested, I could send you the names of the patterns and their designers and your friend could ask Anny about them perhaps. I made one of the fans. It took me a year. I needed a voodoo board for the first 1/3 of the piece, needed to put some of the pins onto the voodoo board for another 1/3, and then was able to toss the voodoo board in the trash for the last third. These are patterns your friend could work towards! Sally - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Parchment [was Needle lace pattern done]
Hi Peg, Actually there are sources of genuine animal-skin parchment on the web. One on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/p6xstfy. It's probably worth $5 to see how it does. There were others. Search in Google for real parchment for sale. It will be interesting to hear how it goes, since the surface may be a significantly texture than modern materials. Nancy Connecticut, USA ...The parchment they would have used was made from animal skin (usually goat or sheep) and was very expensive. ... .I had been thinking of wearing a costume, and having everything authentic. I read they used parchment as the base. Any ideas where I can find some heavy enough to use for this purpose? All I've been able to find is either the kind you cook with, or parchment paper for calligraphy. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Fan in Flanders lace
Hi Jeanette, I think no one has answered because no one has seen a Flanders fan pattern. I looked through my books. The traditional patterns were all straight edgings. The modern patterns showed a few narrow curved patterns and a few oval motifs. However, nothing was close to the type of pattern needed for a fan. This may shock a few purists, but I suggest looking at Bucks Point fan patterns. If you find one you like, work it in Flanders style stitches and techniques instead of Bucks. The other option is to learn Flanders well enough to design patterns, then design your own fan.

Re: [lace] Music to Make Lace By
I have read this thread with interest as for many years, teachers and trainers have been encouraging their students to play Baroque music low in the background when studying for exams. Much research s done in the 90s on accelerated learning and it was found that the beat of Baroque music was similar to that of the of heart beat during light exercise. When students revised or did activities with this in the background they retained more information than without. It apparently, among other things, evens our breathing and thus oxygen intake, making us more alert, is often rhythmical meaning that you read or do the exercise a little quicker because you pick up the 'flow' and rhythm of the task and ... I was surprised by this one, even people who don't like 'classical' music quite like a few pieces of Baroque. In order to maximise its use, it is advised to have a variety of pieces to play (I remember the trainer who had been told music aided learning and played a Celtic Harp version of my heart will go on for EVERY exercise for two days. By the middle of the second day one of the delegates accidentally trod on the CD ... He got a round of drinks bought for him that night ... If he hadn't done that by the end of the week we would have been homicidal). I personally like to use Purcell as not many people are familiar with him but Mozart and Vivaldi work just as well and Handle to some extent. I would suppose that non classical music would work as well if the beat was similar. There were a number of meditative CDs around in the 80s based on traditional music such as Clannad and at some point I might do some tests in my training sessions to see the results. Other research has shown that background noise can be disturbing as it is unpredictable so something which blocks out the background noise but is rhythmic helps ... Think of the child who will sleep with the radio on but won't when its quite ... Same principal. I've always felt that this is why lacemakers work so well when they meet in a group. The rhythmic sound of the bobbins is very often at the same rate as your heart and so we work faster and better in a group. The Aussie, who has bad tinnitus, finds the doing of my lacemaking soothing as the bobbins click and clack. In fact, recent unscientific tests have shown that if he shoots things on the play station whilst I make lace next to him, his score improves.

However, most tatters love it. And AVOID Tatted treasure chest.

Re: [lace] Music to Make Lace By
i do use music for a lot of different areas, but i, too, need not to be distracted. i found several MP3 albums on Amazon for dedicated readers which only have music and no lyrics. it is classical. my favorite provider just came out with album #10 which is very good. a bit uplifting - not charging - and so you keep up a good pace and don't mellow out too much. each of the albums i have purchased has been a bit different enough that getting a new album (about 99 cents US for 24-25 songs/tracks) can allow me to pick the pace it will set to suit my task. cleaning the bathroom requires a bit of a celtic stomp the foot type. you can test them out by listening to the samples. you don't get much but it gives you an idea about the spirit of the music. i have all 10 and have found the ones i like best for what i am doing. i think they are range from an hour to at least two hours. i download them to my computer, cell phone and my tablet. just a thought and something to give you pleasure. i play the samples on my computer while i do something else on the computer and it is a distraction but i find my shoulders do stay low while i am doing the tense seek and find missions.

I always wished the UCLA Biomed library would pipe in music--as soon as I entered the stacks my thoughts turned to Bach. Something about the smell of the old volumes triggered that association. Thanks for the info! For lacemaking, however, I learn toward New Age stuff--George Winston, Lanz Spear, Kitaro, Nakai, that sort of stuff. Tranquil serene. Native American flute museic is also really good. For me, making lace is meditative, unlike studying. Robin P.

Much research s done in the 90s on accelerated learning and it was found that the beat of Baroque music was similar to that of the of heart beat during light exercise. When students revised or did activities with this in the background they retained more information than without. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace-chat] Prince George's birth announcement
The BBC has subtitles along the bottom of the screen for the hard of hearing for many programmes. Mostly they're produced by voice recognition software and some people switch them on just for the amusement they sometimes bring. The birth was announced in subtitles as The Duchess of Cambridge gives birth to a boy - Wayne 8 lb 6 oz.
