There have been letters on Arachne from lacemakers very interested in "Designing & Mounting Lace Fans" by Christine Springett (U.K.). It was a small 16-page booklet, published in 1985, and long out-of-print. People were paying large sums for used copies. I've just received from Holly Van Sciver (in the U.S.) the new revised 2012 copy of this useful book ($15). It is now 48 pages, 4 in full color. There is a Index listing the following chapters: Glossary of Terms, Introduction, Drawing a Pleating Plan, Planning Considerations, Design Considerations, Working Considerations, Mounting a Lace Leaf, Preparing the Fansticks, Glue, Pleating a Lace Leaf, Gluing a Lace Leaf onto Fansticks, Making a Fabric Backing for a Lace Leaf, Mounting a Fabric-Backed Lace Leaf, Storage & Display, Supplies. If you make fans, I think this will be a welcome addition to your lace library.
