drochel lace
Finally another piece of lace finished. It is quite large about 110 cm wide and nearly 300 cms long. The straight stitching took forever- or that is the way it seemed. I am cutting out the motifs for another piece, and my thumb is getting numb from holding the scissors, but I have only a few motifs to go so can start the sewing on that today- more straight lines-or maybe I will make them whirl around- free hand. And another piece is well into the planning. Have to make the gocco print for it, and do the drawing, and I will also use some polyester film I have and transfer dye it as well- so that I can create a juxtaposition of positive and negative in the whole piece. I am still trying to work out how I can incorporate a piece of my grandmothers writing into a lace piece, not so much for the content but for the beauty of the writing which is very much like copperplate writing, and of itself very lacy.

Wow! I think it turned out gorgeous!! Thank you for the great eye candy :)
It is well worth all the hard work and the numb thumb Dijanne! What a wonderful photo, I wonder how many settings you tried the piece in to get such a lovely effect??
Hi Dijanne,
I love what you are doing with your laces. I reckon they would look beautiful over a very long full black silk or satin skirt.
