[lace] lace in the 'news'
Hi All, Every week the BBC website invites photographs on a certain theme. This weeks was 'hobbies'. I wanted to send in a photo of my lace pillow, but I don't have anything suitable on the go. But someone else did http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-39292319 It would be nice to think it interested someone enough to make them want to have a go. Best wishes, Jane in Southern England where the daffodils are shining. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] lace in the 'news'
Fantastic picture of the lace maker. Since the next subject is "Gardens", perhaps you or someone you know could send in a picture of someone making lace in a garden in full bloom.

Re: [lace] Google and Pinerest
If you want Google to show you only the original pictures, and nothing from Pinterest, there is a way to do that! Along with your search words - say, "alencon lace", for example - just add: -site:pinterest.com So the full search words would then be: "alencon lace -site:pinterest.com" Don't forget the minus sign in front of "site:"! if you leave out that minus sign, it would show you *only* Pinterest results! I hope this is useful to someone! Amanda Furrow Philadelphia, PA, USA On Sun, Mar 19, 2017 at 08:13:46PM +, Celtic Dream Weaver wrote: > ??...

[lace] Colour in lace
I am making a bookmark from Technique of Bobbinlace. For anyone that has the book it is decoration b on page 46 and I would like to make it in white with the three outlined motifs in blue. I have never used colour before and would like some help from anyone who can tell me how to change from white to blue and back again please.

[lace] Re: lace copies
Alex said: I donât mind friends sharing or teachers supplying my patterns at no cost, Thank you Alex! A friend and I have subscriptions to different lace publications, but both of us, if we see something in the other's publication, order our own copy of that particular number. My problem is more with out-of-print books. in my early days of lace-making, I saw and fell in love with Pat Read's Milanese lace books, but they were way beyond my capacities at the time; A couple of years later, when i felt I could tackle them, You couldn't find the for love or money - well, yes, but a LOT of money on ebay. A friend lent me hers for a shile (what's the copyright position there?), and I eventually was lucky enough to get a second-hand copy of the first book from Roseground. The same thing happened with Bridget Cook's Idrija lace , but there were other books on the subject, though not so detailed. I was delighted when they were reprinted, and am now working my way through mine. I perfectly understand the feelings of designers, for whom what they earn from a design is ridiculous compared with the time spent, the knowledge and skill required, not to mention the inspiration. And how galling it is that even that minute sum is pirated away. But there are a lot of frustrated lacemakers out here who can't get designs legally because they're out of print! (I may say that the only prickings I download are those which are offered free on sites such as LOKK - or Gon Homberg's site - for which, much thanks, Gon!)

[lace] Books/ out of print books
Hi All, I have taken the view that if I am vaguely interested in something and the opportunity comes up I buy it even if I am not quite ready to go in that direction. Guild Libraries are good to introduce new ideas, and I agree with the previous lacemaker who said that when she finds something she really likes, she seeks to acquire her own copy of the book. Cannot remember exactly how long ago was the visit to a Bookstore in Glebe, Sydney (we were early for a function) when I paid A$120 for five books. One was the first Read and Kincaid Milanese lace book and one Robyn Wild's, it was 35-40 years ago. Have only recently started venturing into Milanese. On the other side I have recently acquired a copy of their second book, via Abe books, used to be in a London Library! The other reason I buy books when I see them is I like to know about other styles of Lace (that I will never do) to have a broader understanding of Lace in general.

Re: [lace] Books/ out of print books
At The Lace Guild we regularly get boxes of books sent to us by families who are dealing with loved ones estates. If these are duplicates to ones we already have in the library we sell them as second hand books. This is a blatant advertising email because we have boxes and boxes of books which we would love to get out there in the wild again. If you are looking for a particular book it would certainly be worth dropping the librarian an email to see if she can help.

RE: [lace] Books/ out of print books
In support of the Lace Guild's second hand books - even though I live on the other side of the world, and am not a member of the UK Lace Guild, I have bought several books this way.
