[lace] Fwd: Thai Bobbin Lace Fan

[Adele Shaak]

Hi Everybody:

Alice, I think you may be thinking of Janya Sugunnasil? She got the commission
for the fabulous coloured silk bobbin lace fan with the gold sticks, but
she’s in Thailand, not India. (I have changed the Subject line to reflect
this).

You can see the fan and read an online post about it here:

[lace] Lace in India - Sulochona correction

[lacel...@frontier.com]

Sorry -- but I had the wrong name in mind on the fan project.  It was Janya
in Thailand, not Sulochona in India.  I was also told that when the fan was
finished, it was mounted on gold fan sticks.  Wish I could see it!

I can almost remember seeing a picture of this fan on a facebook page some
years ago. It was absolutely stunning. I don't know if I could find this
picture again. Maybe someone else can find this picture. I did share it with
friends at the time on my facebook page.
