Hello to you all,

If the lady who wanted pictures of lacemakers' hands would like to have one
of the hands of a blind lacemaker, then please, contact me.

[lace] Lacemakers' hands

[J-D Hammett]

Hi fellow Arachnids,

Could the lady who wanted pictures of lacemakers’ hands please resend her
email to me as I have at last done a photo but cannot find the original email.

Typical, this Microsoft email program (Windows 10) wipes out your emails if
you forget to move them to another folder. :-(

Happy lace making,

Joepie, in sunny Sussex (UK) where it really feels like summer today.

To Cindy and all
Yes, I too am more of a lurker, but love all your messages.
We had our first proper Spring day this week, so I am out and about in the
garden and greenhouse: potting, seeding, clearing weeds etc. whilst husband
is decorating from top to bottom. Why cannot he do one room at the time?
4 months old puppy Border Collie Tilly is "helping" both of us.
Not much time for lace, though tonight I will: Th eve is my lace fix, and
two friends come to my house and we chat and make lace.
Still working on Christine Springett's Wisteria pattern, but have just
turned the last corner.
Also have a Torchon pattern for a whirly thingy on another pillow which I
take to local group when we meet once a month.
At a recent lace fair I bought a set of her latest Christmas ornament
patterns, really beautiful ones, so must have a go at some of those.
Have a great day.

Noelene,
What a lovely poem.  Thanks for sharing.
Cindy in Virginia where it is wet and still a little chilly for Spring.

Yvette Slabbert in New Zealand has a wonderful blog size with some
really
good articles about lacemaking:  https://letslace.com/.

Her latest project is to document pictures of lacemakers'  hands making
lace
- see her blog site for more details.   

So I wrote her a poem to go with the display:

Hands above the bobbins
Hands with bobbins held
Move with speed to place a pin
Move slow to tension thread

Old hands, young hands
Hands both dark and fair
Hands young and plump with gift of youth
Hands lined with time and care.

Some with rings or bracelets hung
And nails of polish bright
Others show the scars of time
In the lamp's exposing light

But underneath's the product fine
With twisted thread in place
A joy to work, a joy to see
The delight of making lace.

[lace] Lacemakers hands

[Lori Howe]

In my collection of lacemaker paintings is one painting of only hands.
This painting by Lynn Hughes struck me as absolutely beautiful. 
It's on http://lace.lacefairy.com/LaceArt/LaceArtwork/ALBUM.HTM
About 3/4 way down the thumbnails on the right.
