(Sorry Aurelia, this was meant to go to Arachne.)
An interesting article about an extraordinary lacemaker, thanks Barb B
in Michigan for letting us know about the article.
But one statement surprised me - perhaps another case of a journalist
getting it wrong?
".... they began to look for an alternative to the outrageously
expensive Belgian linen that Janya had been using to make her lace.
Their decision to work with silk was a revolutionary development in the
history of lace making, which previously had only seen lace made from
cotton and linen."
Surely silk had been used previously in Blonde, and Maltese lace, and
probably others.

Received a note from Janya today with this link to a magazne in
Chiang Mai Thailand that has an article about her. I thought many
of you would enjoy reading it too.
