New Laser Cut Cotton Laces in 1:12 and 1:48 scales Ballroom danced in a Movie




 




Hi Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the idea of Spring or whatever season you are celebrating.

We love Ballroom Dancing and have been taking lessons and dancing now for about 5 years. We had an exciting time a few weeks ago ballroom dancing in the background for a Hallmark Movie, "Once Upon a Prince" that is coming out on TV in April. We danced in the beautiful Ballroom in the Governor General's Mansion here in Victoria B.C. What a terrific experience except it was a 14 hour day, Since most of  the time I felt like I was floating to be in such wonderful surroundings with exceptional actors, other dancers and extras.

While back on earth, LOL, I've been really enjoying designing images for my laser lace grouping kits which I sell on Etsy and through our website. I especially enjoy using images from my antique French Needlework books and magazines such as the French Cherub kit in the first photo at 1:12 scale shown with some of a couple of my porcelain pieces I used to sell years ago. The same design is shown below that one in 1:48 scale for curtains and lace trims, pillows and centerpieces. The bottom 3 photos show how the laces are sold with tabs holding the images that just need to be removed.

Have a wonderful mini life. Mini Hugs, Jean

    1. Hi Shannon, Thank you so much, I wore a blue sequinned formal dress I had made for a New Years formal dance and it was comfortable which is so important. We don't compete so I'm not fortunate to wear one of those fancy dresses. They wanted saturated colour so it did work well. Thanks about my new lace too!! Mini Hugs, Jean

  2. Hello Jean,
    Your lace detail is so fine and delicate. It looks so realistic and perfectly to scale.
    How exciting to be part of a movie shoot, and what fun ball dancing must be. Let us know when the movie will air.
    Big hug

    1. Thank you so much Giac, so very kind of you to say. It is wonderful what the laser cutter is capable of doing. The Hallmark movie will air the middle of April, if I hear more I will let you know, we might not get it here. All that time and we don't really know if we will show up, LOL. Thanks so much! Big hugs back to you, Jean

    1. Hi Elizabeth, Yes we have been Ballroom dancing for over 5 years and have really enjoyed our classes and dances so much. We don't get into competition, we do what we enjoy. Before that we line danced for over 20 years and even danced in cities in China with a group over years ago. I find dancing is a great way to exercise and I don't really realize I'm exercising LOL. Thanks so much about my lace too, I'm really enjoying the designing. Hugs, Jean

    2. These are devive. I bought a set very sceptical thinking they could never look as good as the picture, or they would fall to bits if I sneezed, but they are every bit an beautiful as the picture, better because I have them and they are really quite strong. I've not boil washed then or anything but they handle so well and are soft to the touch and when I showed my friend who always laughs at the tiny things I find and make, she just said wow! If they were big enough I'd have them on my dinning table so thank you so very much Jean Day, mini hugs and huge great fullness for such beautiful wee items, I'll wonder all my years now how you do it lol xx
