Hmmm... I read the book and loved it. It has more to do
with painting than it does with lace, and I don't really
remember anything about lace. So, given my obsession with
the stuff, I'd say it's safe to say that it really isn't

I saw an ad on tv last night for the movie about the painting of a girl in a pearl
earring based on the novel which I have not read yet. Did I read on Arachne that
there was lace making in the book? I wonder if there is lace making in the movie?
Has anyone seen it yet. So far it is only out
Hi Janice spiders,
I haven't seen the movie yet but I want to. I think the lace connection may
have to do with the fact that it's about the painter Vermeer, who painted The
Lacemaker as well as The Girl in the Pearl Earring. (Vermeer is played by
Colin Firth who is fast becoming one of my
by members of the family, and cared for by one of the
maids...)
But then, you have to remember that my first love was
art...

Janice asked if there was any lacemaking in the book on
which the movie is based.
I read the book last year, thought it very well written.
I remember reading that Vermeer's older daughters were
sent outside, to sit on a bench make lace.
I'm looking forward to an opportunity of seeing it soon.
