I expect that many of you know that the Australian lace maker Marie Laurie
wrote a teaching manual on Halas lace. It is available from Lacis

Hello All,
I visited the museum at Kiskenhalas around 10 years ago and purchased a
flower and a butterfly. You can see the 3 overlapping fish on the lower
right side of the butterfly. They are worked in a circle. On the left
lower side in the same area is a design worked in a circle. At first
glance you do not notice the 3 fish. They are no fish on the flower, and
I was told that they do not put them on flowers. I understand that the
flowers are often used for weddings, etc., and no fish are worked into
that lace. I would have liked to purchase more pieces, but they are
rather expensive!

Hi Kate, and others...
I have the beautiful book, "Halaisi Csipke" (Halas Lace), but don't know
much about the lace except what I have read in the book. I don't see any
"usual" three fish symbols, but I'm sure it's because I don't know what
to look for! Would someone who has the book please tell me where to
look? I'd love to have this mystery solved!
On the other hand, I thought each of the petals of the eBay flower looked
like a fish!

Dear Lacers,
The usual three fish symbol is not worked into the flower on ebay. The
whole
petals appeared to me to be fish. It is better to have the lace in your
hand
than in a photograph. Thanks for all the lacers who wrote to me.
