Re: [lace] John Bull Trophy
Photos of the winning entries are at: http://www.laceguild.demon.co.uk/guild/contrastsGallery.html Yes, that piece (the rectangular torchon mat) is superb. We examined it very closely and we really couldn't find anything wrong with it and the tension is absolutely spot on. Well done Christine Brenda - who had the honour of being one of the 'Contrasts' judges.

Re: [lace] John Bull Trophy
How interesting to see. I admired the torchon mat from Australia. Thought there was not enough lace in some contest entries. The entries by children are a special treat. Our Arachne, Gil Dye, made the miniature 3-D elephant and mouse. Are there other Arachne member-winners in this competition?

[lace] John Bull Trophy
In what way? Some of the entries contain a lot of cloth stitch, and one or two look more like woven cloth than the lace they actually are - but perhaps this backs up my argument that a certain snake bookmark isn't really lace! I can't really remember seeing any that were minimal on lace compared to background, though it is now quite a while since the opening on May 31, which is when I saw the exhibition.

[lace] machine knitted lace, Tess on Flickr, Lace Guild winners
Hello All! Arachne rocks with eye candy today! Holy Cow--thanks Jean Mary for posting the link for the baby shawl. After reviewing the baby pages, I skipped right to the heritage section, followed shortly thereafter by the women's section of the site. Some very snazzy knits caught my eye, then Brenda posted a pic of her scarf. Love the aqua--it would be lovely to wear in Fla. in the evenings or in one of the Antarctic regions of many air-conditioned restaurants. Note to Santa! Tess, would you label or share some details regarding your techniques? Beautiful work but I'm not sure what I'm looking at! On the oval mat--are those spiders on steroids? The red shawl seems to have leaves on cloth work the only time I've seen that was in a Cluny workshop that I attended. The pastel scarf reminded me of Greek key but upon closer inspection it seems to have your initial worked into the pattern. The edging motifs on the linen mat remind me of punta in aria but I see leaves! so it can't be. Am I the only Arachnid who could use some help to identify the various laces? Thank you Brenda for posting the link to Lace Guild UK contest winners. Congratulations to these very creative lacemakers--your work is truly inspiring! Is it possible to identify these lace techniques as well? I saved the pictures to my flash drive so I can share them at our guild gathering next month but can't name most of the laces. When I enlarge the photos, the lace go fuzzy so no help there! Do I see some Milanese braids on the Art Deco gown? And perhaps on the tic-tac-toe? Help/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for making my week! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA, toiling away on my marudai because I need to have a yard of cording made by tomorrow.
