I have the floppy Mavica and on mine a standard floppy (1.2 MB)holds 6 hi res pictures. No idea how many other quality, I never have taken any. It can record a short (1 min) video with sound too. But the video quality isn't anything to write home about. Just kind of fun. It has a good lens,

Re: [lace] IOLI Convention

Speaking of which, anyone know what is going to be taught at Ithaca this year. Last year's notice is still up at Holly's site (of course the year has barely begun...) Any rumors of the classes for 2004? Marcie in Latrobe, PA is practically in my backyard but there are no classes that interest

Re: [lace] Re: marking pairs (was: Starting a Torchon bookmark)

Another way to tie two bobbins together is via a safety pin through the spangles... for short periods of time, like when replacing a broken thread. Marcie in Latrobe, PA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Small rubber bands (orthodontal type) are nice and easy for tying a pair together but, frankly, I don't

RE: [lace] amateur lacemakers and thinking person's bobbinlace

[lace] Witches' Work?

Reading back issues of LMi, a technique called Witches' Work was mentioned in an article by Berthilda Vandoren in connection with Binche. Does anyone know what this is and have some information about it? [Is there any way to ask people not to send speculations (without seeming totally rude?) We

RE: [lace] Niven Flanders Pattern 11 Observation and Question

Sorry if I mislead using the term mat. All I am doing is making a rectangle out of a pricking for a corner (using CorelDraw 10). It will have a fabric inset in the center. It has both a wavy footside and headside. You say that you have turned the pricking into a mat. On looking more closely at

RE: [lace] Miss Channer/enforcement issues (Soapbox)

A couple of things... the first is that the pricking published by Ruth Bean is not the original but an adaptation by Anne Buck of the original. Perhaps she can have some influence on the possibility of republishing the pricking? Does anyone know when Ruth Bean Publishers started in business? If it

RE: [lace] Re. Hex-signs
