I went to the Cooper-Hewitt to see the Design Triennial. There was a weaving by Suzanne Tick _http://www.peoplesdesignaward.org/designlifenow/designers/suzanne-tick-inc_ (http://www.peoplesdesignaward.org/designlifenow/designers/suzanne-tick-inc) of "double woven fiber optics and monofilament." The picture does not really do the piece justice because when the lights are illuminating the fiber optic, it is very beautiful. Has anyone tried to work with fiber optic filament? I am wondering, in fact, if the warp on these pieces is fiber optic and the weft might be monofilament since I am thinking that the fiber optic material might be sort of stiff and unlikely to want to retain its shape in lacemaking. In fact, I am not really very aware of the qualities of either of the materials. Monofilament looks like it might be hard to work with as well. Does anyone have any experience with working lace with fiber optic or even know how to obtain it? Devon
