Photos from a Spanish lace day. Mostly torchon with some Cluny type, and some tape lace. I am always surprised that these lace events in Spain attract a few hundred lace makers. Here, a full house is about 25.

Here is a video, Russian language, of a gray haired lacemker doing traditional Russian tape lace, with her computer screen up and running while she illustrates different designs. This is for those who think all us old ladies with antequated hobbies are idiots adverse to technology.

This one, same 2 ladies, but photos of portraits of people wearing lace.

Krusheva   Кружева  I think means "bobbin lace" or just "lace"

a 36 minute video on youtube showing a Russian museum lace collection. At 18 min 48 sec are some tape laces made in real silver thread. I haven't watched the whole thing, but I think it worthwhile.

Some beautiful and very interesting photos in this album. Unusually good modern designs, some antique pieces with good detail photos, many examples of lace used in clothing, with unusual ideas about how to connect lace to clothing, drape it across, design skirts, all sorts of stuff.

These aren't exactly lace. They are crochet sculptures of female forms, in very realistic poses.

Santosha

Holly Van Sciver has a lot. Google her at Van Sciver Bobbin Lace. Also Laurie Waters has collected links to suppliers, sorted by country (for shipping issues). https://www.pinterest.com/LaceNews/ ;   Look about 80% down the page to the S's, for SUPPLIERS. There are several American suppliers, also Canadian ones.

LOKK, the Dutch national lace guild, has a marvelous set of photos from their 2018 40 year anniversary exhibition. They have an interesting way to display sample strips, and lots of very modern clothing designs and lace hats.

Here is an unusual shape for a collar/scarf. It gives me ideas.

This album is from a lace event in Rijeka this year. It has a lot of what I think may be Idrija and Lepoglava bobbin lace, tape laces, and needlelace -- Pag and oya.
