[lace] Bookmark- plastic film

2015-06-09 Thread J-D Hammett 
Hi Fellow Arachnids,


A few days ago I received a beautiful bookmark in Romanian point from Sue 
Turnbull. Thank you very much indeed Sue I am delighted with it and hope Sue 
likes the bookmark I sent her yesterday as much. I was later than I had hoped 
with this as time at present seems to be in very short supply -or is it that as 
one grows older time seems to go quicker and quicker ;-).


As to using plastic film or not on the patterns; I use it as I have had 
problems with both so-called permanent markers as well as printed patterns in 
the past. The only safe way is to use Indian ink for marking -I do this on lace 
card for patterns to be used several times- or cover with plastic film. Soft 
blue, grey, peach, green, mid-blue or clear plastic film depending on what I am 
doing and the base colour of the paper, but always matt. 


The bookmark I did for Sue was done on 2 mm graph paper over a piece of data 
card covered by mid-blue film and vaguely lined out to show where I wanted 
elements to go as it was a ‘one off’ piece.


Again my thanks to Sue.


Happy lace making to all.

I am really pleased that you have it and like it Joepie.   I will let you 
know when yours arrives.  I have already sent a scan of the one I sent to 
you so now she can know that its ok to add to her website when she is ready.
On the subject of plastic film, I have used the matt blue for the last 14 
years for most of my prickings occasionally not bothering, just printing 
straight onto a slightly lighter card of what ever colour I think I have 
that will go with thread colour I am using to allow me to see it.   I 
recently started to pick up some colourless locally and didn't realised the 
blue had stopped being produced.Now it is a shame to me, not the 
devastating news it might have been a few years ago.  I have learned so much 
from all my fellow Arachnids.
