We examine the dependence of the deformation obtained by bending quasi-Fuchsian
structures on the bending lamination. We show that when we consider bending
quasi-Fuchsian structures on a closed surface, the conditions obtained by Epstein and
Marden to relate weak convergence of arbitrary laminations to the convergence of
bending cocycles are not necessary. Bending may not be continuous on the set of all
measured laminations. However we show that if we restrict our attention to
laminations with non negative real and imaginary parts then the deformation
depends continuously on the lamination.
