Dear Arachnites: To my surprise I haven't heard a single comment about the characteristic things lacemaking teachers say. My guess is that since this is a public forum the question may feel indiscreet.
I want Bobby to take classes (as I will take a class) but it would be amusing for the reader and *especially for you* if I could have the teacher repeat things from your own experiences. This novel is not intended to be a *roman a clef* but I plan to tuck in some Easter Eggs to amuse you Arachnites! So: please reconsider these questions and privately email me. I vow not to share your answers with others, unless I have your explicit permission. Questions re teachers: What were some of the most characteristic things your lace-making teachers said that have stuck with you? I can imagine that everyone has heard a teacher bemoan the falling away of interest in lace collecting and lace-making, but surely there are other categories that would be characteristic of a lace making class How would you fill in the sentence: When first looking at lace I always: When teaching lace to a beginner I always: When starting a new project I always: When it comes to lace, it is always What are remarks about a style or a project your various teachers (or authors) have made that struck you as characteristic and ⢠snooty or dismissive ⢠angry or indignant ⢠humorous, amusing ⢠surprising ⢠confusing As always, thank you Sharon - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
