Lefkara, Cyprus (by Irina)

(colors of Cyprus)

Menyusuri jalan berbatu di Pano Lefkara, pusat lerajinan lace (lefkaritika, sulam tangan) dan juga kerajinan perak. Tapi walau di pusatnya, harga lace di sana juga aduhai. Pano Lefkara merupakan salah satu desa tujuan wisata di Cyprus yang berada di pegunungan, lebih kurang di ketinggial 500mdpl. Lefkara dinobatkan sebagai salah satu dari 30 kota destinasi wisata tercantik di Eropa oleh asosiasi biro perjalanan Jepang. --- Silakan membaca informasi tentang Lefkara lebih lengkap di https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pano_Lefkara #lefkara #cyprus #panolefkara #discoverlefkara #lace #silver #lefkaritika #embroidery #beautiful #village #europe #japan (at Pano Lefkara, Larnaca, Cyprus) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckn1XZyN42W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Learn about the lace embroidery of Cyprus in this short video.  Lefkara is very similar to Hardanger - pulled threads and needle lace.  The main difference is Hardanger deals with strictly square shapes, whereas with Lefkara you can do curves.  I am so incredibly excited because after waiting several years I finally got a book on Lefkara lace:  “ Lefkara Lace Embroidery: Historical Development” by Androula Hadjiyiasemi It is insanely rare and expensive.  I just about fainted when I saw it on amazon today for $30.  It has been anywhere from $300 to over $1,000 on amazon for years.  So it’s Christmas in May for me today :) Will be camped out by the mailbox until it comes.  :D 

Есть у меня фотографии с какой-то своей идеей, очевидной или нет, а есть и такие, идея которых предельно проста и даже банальна: оглянись вокруг! Часто замечаю по себе, что чаще оглядываясь вокруг и подмечая прелесть в повседневном я как будто понимаю мир и себя чуть лучше. Во это так.
