THATāS how you make lace??
And THIS is why lace was a worn primarily by royalty and aristocracy for so many centuries..Ā It was expensive and time-consuming to produce.Ā Wearing it, and wearing LOTS of it was a blatant show of wealth and excessive consumption.Ā Ā
Mechanically-produced lace wasnāt really a thing until well into the 20th century, but there remains a wide gap between the quality ofĀ mass-produced and hand crafted
In general textile arts are highly underated considering the amount of skill and time needed to execute pretty much anything.
I am always amazed by theĀ people that do this and somehow keep all those threads from tangling!
