Comment by Lorelei Halley Administrator on December 14, 2016 at 4:30pm: Here is a set of photos of rope bobbin lace, including the pattern, detail shots and some work-in-process. The lace itself is purely traditional, although not regular or symmetrical. The scale makes it modern.

Comment by Lorelei Halley Administrator on July 11, 2016 at 4:06pm: This flower corsage is especially interesting because of the decorations in the clothwork. Rather more complex than what is usually found.

Comment by Maribel Albert on July 5, 2016 at 9:17am: Janices , in Spain copyright exist, you are right that there are some lace makers, with little morality that publish whole books, I happened to me and I reported. You just have to denounce these publications for this to not happen again.

But this does not happen only in Spain, I'm an editor and author have seen my works also copied in Argentina, Italy and Slovenia.

Comment by Janice Blair on July 4, 2016 at 6:54pm: The contemporary lace is interesting, but under Other Albums I noticed that several seem to be copies of pages from books and maybe the whole book in some cases. I guess that copyright doesn't exist in Spain or wherever these photos were posted from.
