Is it named after the nurse Jenny Lind? We had a children's hospital of that
name in Norwich the nearest city to where I live and my daughter had an
operation there at 18 months old.

Hello All! Hope springs eternal! From time to time, I've entertained the idea
of making a fan. What's not to like? They're girly, coy elegant. To that

I'm obviously not very bright, but, having found the review of the book
'Blonde' in the Lace Guild magazine, I've just realised that the fan sticks
mentioned are for a BRISE fan, a word I missed in Robin's post, which is

No, you don't see fan sticks at all. A brise fan doesn't have sticks in the

The thought of using laminator film or the acetate sheet used for the front
cover of comb-bound booklets for the not-intended purpose of fan sticks
reminded me of other things we see another use for , such as the wire spiral
from note books to keep bobbins secure on the pillow, and a battery

They were carved/cut from sheets of acrylic. The pattern is in the book she
has written, I can't remember the name. But any pattern would do, you could
easily draw one up yourself. the acrylic was a type used for something
common, but again I don't remember just exactly what -pattern making
I noticed, at the Teachers showcase in Portland, (IOLI convention) there was
a fan mo8unted on clear acrylic fan sticks. Clever idea, as they did not
show through the lace.
I wonder if they were hand carved from Perspex, - or does anyone know if
they are commercially available?

Having sticks made or buying ready made might be beyond the pocket of some,

Fellow Spiders,
I'm looking for sources for doll size fan sticks or a fan frame,
approximately 2.25 inches in length to be in scale with a 19 inch French

other fan patterns suitable for dolls.
