Yes. At least a machine can duplicate the appearance of a picot. > sure, square tallies with the center being not filled in in beds lace. They're called raised and rolled tallies, you make them at the same time, but on top of, another bit (and they're quite fun, you kind of squidgy in a pin at right angles so that the pairs hang from the pin - then shove the works so that the tally rolls, and continue with the rest of the work. We also do leaf-shaped tallies on top of other work, in Beds, although that, too, is a Cluny element. I haven't seen raised and rolled tallies in Cluny - but I have a piece of machine made Beds., with rolled tallies throughout. The example from the dolls site doesn't seem handmade to me - it is the edges and the spider 'legs' that weave unconventionally - but not being able to focus closer - I can't really tell for sure. Perhaps the person selling it could be queried as to how they know it is handmade... -- bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
