Hello Everybody,
Today I looked through all my material about Goldlace from the time of
Rennaissance and I asked two ladies which are specialiced for that
subject.
The material they used in that time wasn't, in Europe, not gold- or
silver-wire. It was pur gold or silver thread ovr a soul of
Hello everybody,
I am wondering why you are discussing to work the patterns in Le Pompe
with wire. As far as I know they didn't work the gold laces in former
time with the wire some of us, I too, use today. I must add I don't
know these patterns I don't have the book and I don't know what sort
Some of the interest in the Le Pompe patterns is being spurred by the desire
to use wire in lace making. Some wire is very beautiful, it works up nicely,
doesn't unravel and there is a general feeling that lace was originally made
in wire of precious metal, but it has not survived. In
Thank you Sue

I'm going to have to read these messages more in depth when I'm not
doing a quick e-mail check from work. I'm really interested in seeing
how you guys are doing this pattern without sewings since when I

How much interest is there, *among the IOLI members*, in reproductions
of old plaited laces (in thread or in wire or both)? I know
SCA-affiliated lacemakers might be interested, because, with their
cut-off date being 1600, their sources of patterns, especially BL ones,

Dear Tamara and others in the list,
As a SCAdian and novice lacemaker, I'd say *YES* to any and all
offers of pre- and post-1600 patterns or interpretations of patterns,
or any piece of information on techniques, materials, *anything*!!!

metallic threads just don't work. Most modern metallic threads have
no metal in them, and are too fine in diameter.
Most modern metallic threads are made from polyester coated aluminium

I find these old patterns delightful, and plan to do some - when I get other
projects finished!! On Saturday I bought the Brigitte Bellon book on BL
Reticella. Some of the patterns will be able to be worked on my little
travel roller pillow, and I can even do some of them in NL! As the book

I have been working almost exclusively with pre-1600 laces, and I
agree with Tamara that there are no or very few sewings. With the
heavier threads used for many of those laces, sewings would just be
too bulky.
