[lace] Cultural Survey in my county

[lacel...@frontier.com]

The local Cultural Coalition is making an index (survey) of local Arts,
Culture and Heritage.  One of the categories includes arts of all kinds. I
decided my Bobbin Lace Art needed to be included, so filled out the long
questionnaire.
I thought it interesting, in the list of suggested arts, that Tatting was
included but not Bobbin Lace.  They now have it added.  In the USA we still
have lots of people who are not aware of bobbin or needle lace despite our
many demos and displays.  The person who wrote the form must have been on of
these.
I am curious if our lace group picks up any new people through this listing. 
Come to think of it, I may go back to the webpage and make in entry for our
local Lace Group. There is an organization section as well as single artists.
The survey is intended to be a reference when someone is looking for a teacher
or program, or help in community events.  I'll just have to see where it
leads.

Hi Alex and fellow Arachnids,

Love the new guise of the Morris Minor! It made me smile.

I also had a quick peek at some of the bits on the rest of the blog. Re-
tension on unpinned grounds: Have you tried an absolutely flat pillow?

Happy lace making & a Very Happy Easter.

Hi Arachnids

Someone has just sent me a picture that I must share with you. It is the
latest in lace underwear. I have put it on my website
alexstillwell.wordpress.com and look under Blog. It came to me with the
caption I can???t stop laughing, how true.

[lace] Lace in Museums

[cec]

I received the recent digest and read with interest the comments on lace
exhibits.
I don't see much in museums and have run into the dim lighting most of
the time.
The decorative arts museum in Williamsburg,  Va has had several textile
exhibits which I have viewed.
They have additional temporary lighting in there display cases.  A
button activates brigher lighting for a about a minute or a little less
(I've never timed it), and I have found that to be very helpful.  You
don't want to repeatedly turn in on but you can get a better look.

It has been some years but when I went on a behind the scenes tour and
they opened their drawers to us, they allowed a flash light and
magnifier for taking a closer look, but they did limit our time.  I
don't know if the museum continue to do that now.  I'm looking forward
to my trip to Prague in September and hope to get a look at the textiles
in the various places on my tour.  I've been told there is some lace in
the Jewish Museum and it is on my itinerary already.  

I appreciate all the information I learn about on all the posts. 
Especially from Jeri and Devon who know much, much more than I every
will.  

I hope with the coming good weather in the US and other countries that
we all take the time to demonstrate and volunteer to make the public
aware of our love of lace.

to come and join like minded lacer makers come to the Chesapeake Region

Re: [lace] Re: Fwd: Conservation and Over-coming Dim Lighting in Museum Galleries

[Malvary]

I must comment again (and trim my post) that I think your comments were very 
pertinent to a group of mostly bobbin lacemakers. 

While what was written is Jane's personal opinion it backs up what we heard 
from others at the Lace Guild AGM a couple of weeks ago.

I am in Spain for a week in the middle of a longer U.K. holiday and going to 
Bath has been on a list of possible 'things to do', with what we have heard and 
because it is a long drive, I think the list is now a little shorter.
