Yesterday we picked up our lace pieces from the Fiber Arts display in a local library (Morse Institute in #NatickMA). When they invited us, we also suggested to them some books and items for their library to have. That's one way to defeat #AIslop beginner books--provide access to legit books.

But they also added to their #LibraryOfThings a beginner lace pillow setup! We are very psyched. Equipment is hard to assess as a beginner.

Hi.

So lace wasn't originally made by machine, like it largely is today! It was made by hand in a variety of ways: knots, loops and weaving.

Elena Kanagy-Loux probably can be considered a master lacemaker. She does bobbin and needle lace for museums, for demonstrations, and even for couture clothing and jewelry. (I forget if she can do frivolite/tatting.)

Here's a short of her talking about an over 200 year old veil. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4fudNm_FJVY
