Laura Sandison commented on Lorelei Halley Administrator's group Identification-History

"Yes! This is what I'm finding. With so many pairs hung in, it really is a nice diagonal cloth. I'm really supposed to be cleaning, so I'll photograph in a bit and send it on. Looks a lot like yours, Devon! I've stuck some of…"

Laura Sandison commented on Lorelei Halley Administrator's group Identification-History

"Lorelei, I'm working on it, but have unexpected (ick) company dropping by tomorrow so have to actually clean a bit. I'm doing it scaled up, to see the movement of thread. Also, we need to remember these have been washed and used quite a…"

"Sorry I wasn't clear about where the diagonal weave comes from...not the Wiener Spitzen that Kim referenced. I've just seen it in older pieces for many years here and there. There are flat braids that can be made in many traditions:…"

"Devon, thank you for the enlargement of the piece. "

Laura Sandison commented on Lorelei Halley Administrator's group Identification-History

"Thanks for the reference to the Wiener Spitzen book, Kim. There are so many fun ones we can use as resources. As I look at the shapes, some are worked as tallies, some as packed half stitch. I'll be going down this road today instead of…"

"Yes! You worded it better. I'll try it tonight, but I think it would work perfectly. Really want to try this little section out! Is there a scaled photo for size?"

Laura Sandison commented on Lorelei Halley Administrator's group Identification-History

"I really think these are bobbin lace. The tapes all seem to be bobbin lace. Needle lace would be too much weaving, and a couple of the tapes require a more complicated plaiting that you would make with bobbins. The piece with needle made looking…"

"Is it possible that this was finished by Zele needlelacers? It is an exquisite piece of Rosaline. I would certainly call it Rosaline because the majority of the work is made that way. However, there may have been a crossover such as we see with…"

"My initial thought was also Beds. I can't say why, other than the flow of the design. The thing I don't like is the headside edge. But then again,it may be experimental and a show or custom piece. It is pretty phenomenal!"

"This is a very interesting piece, Devon. I'm very curious about it, too! It is quite stunning, and well designed and executed. Might have to be on a viewing list sometime."

Laura Sandison replied to Devon Thein's discussion More Spanish lace in the group Identification-History

"These are quite intriguing! I also think the designs look Moorish, but there seems to be an intentional heart design running horizontally. Those aren't at all Moorish/Islamic. What is also very interesting is multiple use of mirror images.…"

Laura Sandison replied to Devon Thein's discussion Blonde in 18th century-Spanish in the group Identification-History

"As I've put on Arachne, I would also put it to 18th C. as a possibility. My reasoning is that there are 17th paintings that "hint" at the rising of black point ground. Margaret Theresa of Spain at the Prado has one such hint at her…"
