In some ways, digital libraries are a very good thing. In others, not.
Not everything ever published will ever be digitised. Only what someone,
somewhere will choose to find time, money and computer space to copy.
Electronic media are fragile in their own ways and they do need

I've just uploaded a couple of images to my album on Arachne webshots.
The first is Louise Colgan's Bedfordshire fan from her book of fans. I
decided to change the honeycomb ground section to blossom ground because I
preferred it. I made in burgundy Madeira Tanne 40. I like my lace to be
Hi Lucie Jeri,
Just a note to say that I agree with you, Lucie, absolutely,
and that your
comments are excellent. I think you make many good points,
right down to the
important parallel with biodiversity.
I have a book that I
wrote 30 years ago digitized on a big computer tape that,

I really like your Bedfordshire fan. It looks good in the dark red color.

I went on Arachne webshots to look at the fans but I was deafened by the
horrible loud ad music attached which was very offputting, is this something
new? And can anybody tell me how to get rid of it I tried with no success
and had to give up looking at the new additions because it made me want
Does anybody know if Louise has any other lacing books besides the fan one and
the Milanese book? I saw an angel that was designed by her on the internet once
and I would so love to get this pattern. Since the angel isn't in either of the
two books I have mentioned I wonder if she has another
Yes - that sort of thing is appalling.
To avoid it, I keep my computer's volume control muted all the time,
except for those rare occasions when I definitely want to listen to
something. I discovered the blessings of silence as a side-effect of
having it muted when I was working in libraries

I unplugged my speakers by mistake one day. A few months
later, I gave them away. Haven't missed them.
Yes, Sherry, I just printed out _www.vansciverbobbinlace.com_
(http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com/) (USA) book list yesterday. She sells
all of the

Me, too! I was totally unaware of Colgan's Alphabet Inspirations book. Since
I'm a great fan of Colgan's Milanese designs and techniques, I've printed out

Oh, and Sherry... Since you're so much into lace angels, you might be
interested in another book, also available on Holly's site:
Angels in Russian Tape Lace, by Hanne Sonne.
They're all somewhat similar in overall shape, with differences in fillings and
head-shapes. I haven't seen the book
The book mentioned here is by Sandi Woods, not Louise Colgan. The pieces
are stunning. The techniques used are a bit different, there is a lot more
in and out of pairs. I have the book and just love it!

Thanks a million (or, to be precise, $26.95 +shipping g). The book is listed
on Holly's site as being by Colgan. It looked somewhat familiar (I have Sandi's
book, too g) but, since
T, before you rush to buy the Alphabet Inspirations book, I'm pretty sure the
author is Sandi Woods, not Louise Colgan. Both are great designers of Milanese
patterns, but they are different. I have Sandi's second book, but it's packed
away. I'm pretty sure it's called Alphabet Inspirations
Australian Lacemakers are very fortunate to have Sandi attend our
AGM in Brisbane, Queensland where she conducted a full week of
workshops. She is also conducting a further week for the locals in
Brisbane this coming week. The unfortunate bit is that I can't make it
to Queensland for

nice to hear from you again. What are into at the moment?
I am very busy, but that has become normal here.
Knocking on wood, nothing has changed much here, either :) I'm looking forward
