[lace] Lace at the Olympics

[Elizabeth Ligeti]

Fancy Lacemaking getting to the Olympics!  Wonderful!!  Lace has "arrived"
( after about 500 years!!! :) )

Yes, - in answer to Alice - there were bobbins hanging from the pillow, and
the lacemaker was toying with them as she stood there, - but not making any
lace, I don't think!

[lace] Supplier Assistance -- Thank you

[Helene Ulrich]

Thank you to everyone who has made suggestions about the wire frames
needed for some Chrysanthemum lace.

The problem has been solved.  A fellow Arachne has kindly offered to
order me a set since the shipping from Germany to UK to US is cheaper
than from Germany to US.

When they arrive, I will use them to make my own.

Helene

Re: [lace] Olympic tribute to lace

[Jocelyn Froese]

Go to CBC coverage of closing ceremony. The lacemaker with a bolster is in the 
center, choir and dancers in lace costumes start at 2:20. Lovely!
It's a long link, olympics.cbc.ca/ etc.

[lace] Olympic tribute to lace

[Elizabeth H Correa]

Joepie and Arachnids

 

At Opening Ceremony there was a performance of weaving with lit-up strands.
And now, at Closing Ceremony, this Lace Dance and the big green tree. Here
we felt Olympic Ceremonies like a Tribute to Brazilian Popular Art and
Handcraft but I personally liked Tribute to Textiles Arts and Lace. 

If you want to see a little more about this Lace at Closing Ceremony here is
a address to a instagram video :

y=soniaquintelladecarvalho 

 

But if you want to know something about Brasil Bobbin Lace at my site I made
a post several months ago of a beautifull and rare journalistic work
dedicated to the theme. My sites are to to promote Teneriffe Lace but I talk
about Brazilian Lace and Handcraft and also Latin Needlelace. Just to
contributed with the theme we have few news and people know very little.

Try to see the film in despite of the language. But you can ask me what you
want. I really know what is having difficult with a foreign language, but we
have to be more than we are to make things together.  In lace friendship.
Ssomething I learn here with Jeri Ames.

[lace] Re: Lace on display on London

[Jane]

Hello Beth,

I recently posted about a V & A exhibition, but it wasn't lace and it 
doesn't start until October  Sorry! (Details repeated below)


But there are other exhibitions. V & A currently has an exhibition on A 
Brief History of Underwear (pun intended, I assume!), Kensington Palace 
has an exhibition on Royal Fashion featuring the Queen, Princess 
Margaret and Princess Diana, while Buckingham Palace has Fashioning a 
Reign:90 years of the Queens wardrobe.
I thought there was a vogue fashion exhibition somewhere but can't find 
it. Yes I have, "Vogue 100: A century of Style" at the National Portrait 
Gallery, looks like only photos.


So nothing lace specific, but a couple of these are likely to have lace. 
I must admit, I'd find it difficult to choose between Buckingham Palace 
and the V & A!


Whatever you choose to do, enjoy your visit.

Best wishes,
Jane
in sunny Hampshire

Wow, did you see the Brazilian lace making lady and her pillow? At the closing 
ceremony. Also holograms of lace designs. Loved it. Vivienne

Re: [lace] Lace on display in London?

[Karen ZM]

The V & A lace is now ​at Blythe House, just off Kensington Olympia - That
is the nearest train station.
You must liaise with them as early as possible. For a while when my
daughter was living in the UK (and just round the corner from Blythe
House), I only managed to visit once for an informative visit on how they
store everything, but never managed to secure a date for a study visit as I
would only know I was going from four to six weeks before, and it was never
enough!

[J-D Hammett]

Hi,

You have to get organised as the whole of the lace collection of the V has
been moved to another large house in or near London. I cannot remember the
name of it, but you have to contact the V to gain access anyway so you can
liaise with them.

RE: [lace] Olympic Tribute to Lace

[J-D Hammett]

Hi fellow Arachnids,

For people living in the UK (or anyone else who can get it on their computer)
go to BBC iPlayer;- Olympic Closing Ceremony. It is about 1 hour 14 mins into
the ceremony.

Well worth having a second or third look. I think that the dancers are also
dressed as lace pillows.

Joepie,

[lace] Lace on display in London?

[Beth Marshall]

I think I remember a post on Arachne a while back about a textile exhibit at 
the V until the autumn, which had some lace trimmed items? Or possibly at 
another London venue. 
I unexpectedly have to go to London one Saturday in September & could have a 
few hours free to go & see it, but my computer is broke and I can't find the 
message/ search the archive for it - if someone remembers this & still had 
details of the exhibition please forward to me privately.
Thanks
Beth

RE: [lace] Olympic Tribute to Lace

[Noelene Lafferty]

There's a video clip on it on an Australian Yahoo news site, Here's a Tiny
Url of it http://tinyurl.com/zeszpkg.   It's about 7 or 8 pictures down from
the top.   I don't know how long it will be there for.

Did you see the closing ceremony with the tribute to bobbin lace?B  What a
surprise!B  And so lovely.B  I would have liked to have seen the working
side of the pillow to see if there were really bobbins on it, or just the
finished piece of lace.B  Probably just the lace.
Do we have any List members in Brazil?
