First attempt at needlelace
It's a bit uneven, but I'm generally happy with that. I wanted something that looked like a net and that looks like a net. The real test will be whether it holds together when I remove it from the backing fabric.
This was done following the instructions for Lace stitch filling on the RSN Stitchbank site.
Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilemuseum St. Gallen
This well-illustrated book edited by Emma Cormack and Michele Majer accompanied an exhibition at Bard Graduate Center gallery and was named best art book of 2022 by the New York Times. It is a serious study in multiple chapters by various authors covering the rise of lace as an industry in early modern Europe, going through the centuries and the different traditions and countries, up to the modern era. If you are interested in the development of lace, you will find it fascinating. It is being sold at a substantial discount online when I last checked.
Here you see a woodcut from 1556 that offers up a pattern for lace; then a needle-lace and bobbin-lace collar which may be date from 1600 and or 1880, which is the most intriguing dating; a portrait from the chapter on how lace showed up--stiff and regal--in Spanish portraits in the 16th and 17th; lastly bobbin-lace coverlet from Brussels which has palm trees as well as the more common flora.
The exhibition can still accessed online here and it offers many images as well as some video of lace-making: https://exhibitions.bgc.bard.edu/threadsofpower/

It has been quiet here for some time as I have been at a textiles conference in Austria as well as concentrating on writing my book on the Omodos needle lace. Here are a couple of images taken during the research-phase of my book showing the beginning of a piece using the basic knot, as well as a finished table-cloth comprised of small circular designs. I will be sharing some photos from the textiles conference soon!
Finally finished my lace! I got lazy at some parts but imma do it again for more practice. I have so much more to go. 😬
Did a little more needle lace, maneuvering thread with a bandage on my finger is frustrating. A bit. #needlelace #nautilus #lacemaking #textileartistsofinstagram #fiberart https://www.instagram.com/p/CF7QOLqMEN2/?igshid=6md4ieter470
