Hmmm. That sounds like someone who never got comfortable with a
digital camera or who tried one when they first came out and were more
temperamental. My $200 Olympus takes very good pictures and I am
delighted with it. I took it to Paris when my company sent me there
for 48 hours. I took 78 shots
Oh Helene, I have to disagree here! Whilst I think there is a place for both
types of cameras, I find that my digital does an absolutely fantastic job. I
bought an Olympus 3.2 megapixel, with (for photographing closeups of lace) a
x10 zoom lens.. Previously I had a very good, top of the range
I have a low end digital camera that does all I want it to do BUT, IMHO the
answer is in the software manipulation of the images.
It is just amazing what you can do with a good graphic package, even free
ones ( The Gimp)
Sure they do take a farley steep learning curve, but then on the results
I wouldn't touch a digital camera with a barge-pole! They are dreadful, and
only give you very mediocre results.
Sorry, I have to disagree with your Committee member. I have a Canon digi

Hello Lacefriend,
It is always difficult to say this or that camera is the right for you.
First you must find out what you personally want, a very small one, or
the best what belongs technical data-which of them are the most
important for me, could it be expensive or better not and so on.

didn't lend her one of my good pillows and bobbins! I've only taught 2
students and both of them disappeared on me!
I recommend asking for a deposit on pillows etc which you lend to new
pupils. Then at least you can buy replacements if you never see pupil or
pillow again. They don't seem to be
In Ithaca this past October in Lenka's wire class there was a woman there that I was
talking to about making bobbins for wire lace making. My husband has made me 2 dozen
aluminum bobbins very nicely done just for me to use with wire. I was not able to take
Lenka's class so I will be winging
Dear Holders of all Lace Knowledge,
I heard that Christine Springett's bobbins are going up for auction. Did I
miss it? Any info?

Dear Bev and the list--
This was my experience exactly. i made one rather nice little piece of
Torchon, figured out that there were better tools out there and began
searching the web, which led me to a whole new world of lace makers and
their toys. And, of course, this very helpful list. I do
I do not think they even made kits, horror or otherwise, when I started. I
started with a magazine artlcie, a 'pillow' made of excelior** stuffed into a
sack and into which I inserted a round board...about 12 diameter. For

I have to say that I have 2 excellent cameras.
My first love is my Canon EOS Rebel, a 35mm, which serves me very well.
It will do macros for me, plus portraits, landscapes, and sports shots,
and I can use auto or manual focus, and I have a variety of lenses for
it. I've done some delayed

Thank you for the wonderful parcel, it arrived today. It was full of so many

they all tree squirrels ?
The black, red, grey and fox squirrels are all tree climbing and dwelling

Dear All,
The mouse plagues that have occurred in the central west of NSW, during

Babies bassinets were stood in dishes of water to prevent mice running

As some people know, I recently did a slide show at Ithaca. When I began to
prepare for the show, my initial thought was that I should go digital. Then I
looked at the price of a digital projector, the cheapest about $1000 and
thought again. I didn't want to rent a projector, also not cheap.
I must be lucky. I get black gray and red
squirrels in my back yard. Although, I have only had
one red squirrel. It chewed it's way into my bird
house one day and when we took the bird house down
to fix it, the red squirrel disappeared. The blacks
and grays chase each other up and down
Thank you for the lovely gifts
You are so nice!!! I have never seen a so wonderful thing for the scissors,
I put on the Carriemacross-scissor a wonderful

I am looking forward to knowing who you are.
Thank you again.

Hi,
My neighbor's yard has sprouted a six foot stork. It's made of wood,
stands on one leg, wears a pink coat, and holds a baby bundle. The bundle
has Olivia written on it, and the date, etc. I had never seen one of
these before, but it sure announces the latest arrival in the neighborhood.
