Carolyn Wetzel commented on Lorelei Halley's group Aemilia Ars"Lorelei, Grace's Lace website you shared has some excellent diagrams and interesting patterns.

Carolyn Wetzel commented on Lorelei Halley's group Puncetto"Alessandra, your piece is beautiful! I am impressed that you can just look at the poor-quality picture from the museum, and both draw the pattern and make the lace so well. You are very inspiring!"
Carolyn Wetzel commented on Lorelei Halley's group Puncetto"Thank you for clarifying the colorful Met piece - Next time I go there to view lace I will request to see it, and get a better photo than what they have posted.
Alessandra, did you just draw the pattern for the Met piece now, or did you already have…"

Mandy Currie said… Hello Carolyn, I was thrilled to find your step-by-step photos of laying the grid for pag lace. I am a complete beginner to lace making and had no idea of where to start, this has been very helpful. Your work is stunning, just had a quick peak at your photos, you've certainly done a lot. I will continue to follow the group, I intend to start my sample of pag lace in the new year when I've completed all my Christmas projects. Thank you again for your help.

If there is something specific I can help with - just email me.
I am not sure qwhich or the 2 classes you might have joined if you could have come to IOLI, - but don't hesitate to sing out if there is something you are not sure of.
Your work lookslike you are as far as advanced as I am so I am not sure what I could teach you. It might be more the other way around, and you teaching me!

Sorry, but I am in USA for a month only - 2 day workshop in Denver, then on to Washington/Bethesda for the IOLI convention, and then across to Seattle to visit the family, and give a 2 day workshop there, - then home! (and a good rest!!! :) )
A pity we can';t meet, but I can understand when life, family and other things get in the way. You are not alone in that!!!

- A microscope image for the THREADS group logo sounds just exactly right. Whenever you have the time. When you post the image, please post it to our PHOTOS. That way members will be able to see the whole original image in all its detail. When I plug it into the icon slot for the group, the software will create a small version just for that, but the original will stay in its original condition.

The threads and fibers thing is of interest to most of our members, I think. And it is possible that arachne members and other fiber enthusiasts may find the discussions and photos useful. And our capacity to show pictures makes any verbal discussion doubly valuable.
I will create a group called THREADS, so any discussion can go there. After you have posted photos, I will create a PHOTO ALBUM called THREADS and collect your photos there. Will this work?

Linda Dumas said… Hi Carolyn,
So ever since I watched your presentation on Saturday, I've been so excited to start needlelacing. I found some info on the web and have begun. Then it hit me that you did a presentation on the bee for our group last fall. I guess I wasn't ready then. I'm so glad that I went saturday.

Thank you for the infor about where the photos came from. As I understand it, anything published 1923 or earlier is out of copyright. Perhaps the one image of the bedspread is OK to post. I am relieved that we can use the important lace photos themselves.

When was the book published that the Alencon bee photos came from? Is it a museum catalog, or what? I'm desperate for those pictures, but I'm also concerned about copyright issues.
