A wide lace trim I knit years ago with a vision for the edge of a little girl's sheet...
This flower could have been in that pattern maker's mind...
Goat's beard flowers make a nice lace inspiration...
An aunt knit this delicate tea cosy...
Even the dreaded buttercup shows some lacy possibilities...
A piece of crocheted edging from my embroidery and crochet period...
Wouldn't this make a lovely shawl pattern?
Leaf miners create lacy patterns. Maybe this is the lace maker looking over its work?
Sigh. Yes! These are all beautiful inspirations. I'm thinking of taking the lace design class at Rhinebeck. It's that or the felted rug/painting class. I can't decide. On my own lace front, I have just 44 rows left to my shawl.
ReplyDeleteI love this post and the way you've expanded the idea of lace. The centre of the flower is exquisite.
