Re: [lace-chat] Re: decorating bobbins (for people who can't paint)
thanks for the help tamara. someone else answered and told me the opposite because the bobbins are so light. i think they can be used without them, but they will be too light. if the thread strand weighs more than the bobbin, they might pull all over the pillow, so if i want them to work correctly i should use weights. i'm a little disapointed that i won't make myself any more room on the pillow. maybe at least they won't roll. she also said the same as you to not buy the plastic beads. i'll put spangles on them any way, but i'll use glass beads. if you are interested in beads here is a company i've had a catalog from twice, and they have some really nice stuff. http://www.firemountaingems.com/ --- Tamara P Duvall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Aug 12, 2005, at 22:12, susan wrote: is it necessary to spangle midlands? that is probably a stupid question. i can get some cheap bead necklaces at the dollar store and take them apart and make some nice spangles, but i really don't like them. i do realize the importance of having a little more space on your pillow I've not seen any other answers to this (these? One's implied, rather than stated) question, so I'll have a shot. Suz, it's not necessary to spangle Midlands, but they've been *designed for spangling*. That is THE reason they're so thin; they *count* on the spangle to give them weight (as well as stop them from rolling like mad). If you plan on spangling them with beads from the Dollar Store, you might as well save yourself the effort and the cost (the wire's not all that cheap, either)... Leave them as they are, and fight it out with them once they're on your pillow. The cheap necklaces these days are all made with *plastic* beads, which weigh next to nothing (15yrs ago, you could buy, cheaply, glass-bead necklaces in the second-hand stores, but not no more). Once you have the spangle on, you do *not* have any more room on your pillow than you do with Continentals - in fact, you're likely to have *less room* But you'll have a prettier pillow :) -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from susan in tennessee,u.s.a.

Re: [lace-chat] Re: .......And flying things
As were the - I don't even know the English for it... Those things where one person sat at a board of many holes, plugging in many telephone sticks into the holes?. I don't know what that is. i think that is a switchboard. the operators use it to connect the lines. now i think it is automated. i'm not sure what it could be if it were not that. i was never trained a shooting by anyone other than my father who had me shoot a tin cans, and i did this when i was in my 20s. most of the sights were off on the old guns we shot, but i hit dead on on most of them. i had military training for a day in training for the navy, and in the final for bootcamp we had to shoot a real 9mm and a fake 12 gauge. i did really good, even though i missed the class because i had to stand a watch. the navy does not train much on hand to hand combat, so training mostly went to fire fighting. that would make sense because most of the 4 years you will spend in the navy will be in cramped up spaces on ships. fire fighting in those kind of living coniditions is a must. from susan in tennessee,u.s.a.

[lace-chat] Re: [lace] Liers Lace - hoops
have you ever tried green apple schnapps? peach is good too. the smell of the green apple alone is worth the price of the bottle. --- Diane Z [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To add on to Alice Howell's advice of embroidery hoops for Coggeshall and Liers: I have some large hoops with a thumb screw probably from before 1950. I think the good quality hoops were built to be adjustable for different thicknesses of fabrics. I have a small oval one from my family, the rest were from antique stores. See, another reason to go shopping. A little add on, I just bought a bottle of Poison Wild Berry Schnapps by White Rock Distilleries in Lewiston, maine. I bought the liquor because of the blackberry flavor but when I got home, I found that tied around the nect was a chain with a metal medallion with a spider embossed on it. See, another reason to go shopping again and have a party. (The taste isn't great but the violet color and medallion are worth a purchase.) A happy and relaxing summer Sunday to all of you.

Re: [lace-chat] decorating bobbins (for people who can't paint)
I Pyrograph many of the bobbins that I turn or whittle. Never thought of doing it under magnification, but that would help to make a neater design. I even wood burn designs that I plan to paint, it makes the design pop out (like a gimp ) I think the light brown burn lines or dots look really nice on light wood. And as someone wrote, if you fill the burn with paint, it is below level of rest of surface and less likely to wear off. I usually finish with Tung oil finish ( the main ingrdient in spar varnish) But most people spray with polyurethane. Hobby wood burning kits are not expensive. I got mine at Michaels - a USA nationwide company that sells all types of craft things. The kits come with several tips. I mostly use the sharp tip of the pointy one.
