[lace] Re: Warp/Weft
For warp, I think of Star Trek. Warp speed is obviously going forward, not sideways. Robin P. I think for some lay persons, they think of the word warp as being something that is warped, so often think that that could be the thread that gets shaped/wrapped/warped around things, so confusion. Carpet mills make the warp speed reference as in Star Trek, when selling/explaining. Weft for a speech impediment or rhyme with Left and Right is very common. I like the warp like the strings of a harp (perhaps because I made it up myself). Admittedly, harp strings aren't completely vertical/plumb/perpendicular to the floor, but it is simple and fast. Oddly I don't think of warp speed having to be in a straight line, just fast. Perhaps it is my years of driving racing cars and thinking of G force. Some scientists concur it would be nearly impossible to go in a straight line. Actually, it engages Einstein's relativity, so one could say that as with time, it is an illusion and rather more of a holographic experience based upon a warp/bubble and perception. So, perhaps a better relationship with bobbin lace. Perhaps better this; related to chat. Interesting the nuances of the human brain and it's experiences and references.

RE: [lace] announcements
I'd like to start over with new listings, but while I could probably manage to put it together, keeping it up to date going forward is just going to continue to be a problem. Why not create http://arachne.wikispaces.com/ Then anyone can help you maintain whatever list or faq you (or someone else) starts. I have one and experience no spam even though I configured it completely open without even requiring to sign up to make changes. Should spam become a problem, you can tighten security with a few moderators to accept newbees. User friendly and for a free scheme the adds are not very dominant.

Re: [lace] Lace in Vietnam Warp/Weft
Shirley, Very interesting. I had to go check on my oven bags and mine are made by the Reynolds Co. I'll have to check the store and see if they have the ones by Glad. Wonder if ours would be acid free? Patsy A. Goodman Chula Vista, CA, USA Tregellas Family endso...@internode.on.net wrote: It's all these little hints which make life so much easier.

[lace] New Idea: A Summer Postcard Swap
Dear fellow Arachneans, As the summer starts buzzing, and plans are being made, I had a simple idea come to me. I'm currently waiting for a postcard to arrive from Norway I'm sure that I'm not the only person who likes to receive as well as send postcards to friends around the world. And I'm sure that there are people like me who can't afford to travel to a convention, congress or even a weekend workshop or retreat. So, I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in a Postcard Swap? The postcard can depict something related to lace or spiders, but does not have to. If you like my idea wish to send a fellow Arachnean a postcard then just send me a private email with Postcard Swap in the subject line, and include your home or postal snail-mail address. Indicate if you are staying home or will be away - there is no need to tell me where you are going. If you wish to send more than 1 postcard let me know that fact also. I'll set a maximum of 3. This has to be done fairly quickly, so please send me your info asap. Then I'll match up a home name with an away name next Sunday send out emails on Tuesday. Your postcard(s) may then be sent anytime during July August. Just remember to take the addresses with you. Or write them on envelope(s) ready for the postcard. If this is a dumb idea, please tell me that I'm crazy. Penelope Piip in Tartu, Estonia - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] Lace in Vietnam Warp/Weft
Some caution would be wise here. The Conservation section at the Powerhouse Museum said a few years ago that the manufacturers now include other chemicals so the oven bags are probably no longer of archival status. The older ones are often stiffer and more crinkly. The newer ones are more like plastic. They were so convenient too Barbara Ballantyne in Sydney Australia where it delightfully sunny -Original Message- From: owner-l...@arachne.com [mailto:owner-l...@arachne.com] On Behalf Of kar...@cox.net Sent: Wednesday, 16 June 2010 5:46 AM To: lace@arachne.com Subject: Re: [lace] Lace in Vietnam Warp/Weft Shirley, Very interesting.
