2007 I.O.L.I. Lace Contest:
In honor of the convention theme "2007 Lace Heaven" the 2007 contest theme will be: "Lace in Caelo" ("Lace In The Sky" - Caelo is Latin for: The Sky)
As you look to the sky - what do you see? Birds? Butterflies? Leaves falling? Clouds? Stars? Behold all that has been created as you vision your contest lace piece for 2007.
Contest Rules: The maximum size is 12" x 12" for a two dimensional or 12" x 12" x 12" for a three dimensional piece. (Final size of contest lace presentation includes the frame and/or setup props.) The lace may be mounted or framed, but no glass, plastic or plexiglass may be over the lace or it will be disqualified. The reasons for no glass: safety of the judges, ability to view the lace properly, photography, and minimize possible damage to the lace. Use thread and color appropriate to your design.
Categories for submission: Original Lace Design: The entry must be designed and worked by the entrant. A copy of the original pattern and working directions must be submitted with the entry. Technical Proficiency: The entry must be worked completely by the entrant, but another lace designer's pattern may be used. Information acknowledging the designer and source of the pattern must be provided with the entry.
The Bulletin Editor or I.O.L.I. Board designated photographer will photograph the lace pieces. Request entry form and more details from: Judy Zeiss, 3241 Siebert Rd. Midland, MI, 48642-7217 or e-mail: judyzeiss@aol.com
