Featured CAMEOS: Show & Tell or Ask & Answer

As soon as I can remember which box I stashed it in. It was only last night, there really is no hope.
I may be some time .......

 

You're killin' me here.

I'm betting either crochet or filet.

I WANTS TO SEE IT.

 

I looked at it and thought where the heck am I going to put that. Obviously I made a decision and then erased my memory. I really have to do a clear out as OH is beginning to notice the size of the hoard. Filet? Isn’t that something to do with steak or fish?

 

Agreed!

 

I think the expectation may be more than it deserves. It’s not that exciting

 

I've never seen a lace cameo before. So it would be exciting to me!

If there has been one in this thread I missed it.

 

It's not like this one, is it?

Sadly she has no eyes... if anyone would like her just let me know. Free to a good home who won’t forget where they stashed her!

 

No, far from!

 

Manners please! Form an orderly queue, no pushing or shoving will be tolerated

 

I love her, but I think @Bronwen should have her, because cameo, duh.

She is neither crochet nor filet, she is the humble "chem lace"... machine embroidered then bathed in goo that dissolves the ground cloth.

I will put myself second on queue.

 

See, I told you not to get too excited, I can't even give her away!

I'm sure @Bronwen will be overwhelmed by your kindness and my lace lady will fit in with her priceless collection
Note to self- keep eyes open for most hideous cameos and cameo related items to send to Jivvy.

 

The cabinet has a mirrored back, so you are actually seeing a single egg & its reflection. However, I do have another smaller one that lives on the top shelf. They date to the early 1970s, when encasing bits of nature in Lucite was all the rage. The one you asked about has thistles, the other is a dandelion seed.



Both have become somewhat yellowed with age.

 

I have bought a few & saved photos of others, more as examples of how they were worn, although if the cameo shows clearly, that's a plus. I think of those very large ones worn at the throat more as posture enforcers than as jewellery.

Whaddya mean, lace cameo?



I thought maybe you meant one of those tiny pins worn with lace; I have a few of those.

Would she now be meant for use as an applique?

Brownen managed to resist this needlework specimen:

 

Listen you, I was sitting in my parked car and scrabbling to get on queue before Mr. Jivvy returned (and wondered why he was being asked to sit and wait while I wrote a forum message).

I mean, mostly, I didn't want to have to see the look on his face as I explained it was a critical forum message because there was chem lace at stake.

Yes, indeedy.

Well lawd, of course you did, she has absolutely zero charm. I can't believe you compared her to Chem Lace Cameo.

That's it, I'm putting myself first on queue.

 

Oh my, I just nearly spat my coffee out at that monstrosity!. Thanks for the giggle.
Makes my lacy lady look good. You'd have to be pretty deluded about your talents to bother putting it in a frame!.

 

She's yours

 

And @Bronwen will be forced to live with her regrets.
