Hi Elizabeth,
I want you know "Beauty of Nanduti Lace", a handicraft necklace
(someone can
tell me if is "handicraft" ou "handcraft"?) that had a medallion
weaved in
nanduti or tenerife lace, a rereading of the traditional technique,
decorated
with recycling glass tablets.
Please, visit http://nhanduti.blogspot.com
We love remarks
OK, first the text. I think the following would be better English:
"Beauty of Nanduti Lace" presents a hand-crafted necklace with a
medallion woven (not "weaved"; it's an irregular verb) in Nanduti or
Tenerife lace -- a new interpretation of the traditional technique,
decorated with recycled (not "recycling") glass tablets (are they
really "tablets"? That is, are they *flat*? If they're round, they
would be "beads").
Second, the photos:
I would suggest that the second photo -- the one with the girl in a
white outfit -- be replaced with a *photo of just the medallion*, so
that the *lace* can be clearly seen. Something like the photo just
under your logo, but one which could be enlarged by clicking on it,
same as the "girl photos".
The first photo -- the one of the girl in the black outfit -- shows the
size/proportion of the whole necklace when worn, and shows how good it
looks on a young (and very pretty <g>) person. That's good; we want
young people to be interested in wearing lace. But, the second picture
doesn't show any more than the first, as far as the lace is concerned.
A lot of the beauty of lace -- Nanduti and others -- is in its
intricate detail; you need to show that. Show the clever many stitches
which went into the weaving of the whole.
You asked us to comment on the lace part but it's difficult, without
being able to see the lace in greater detail. I know very little about
Nanduti/Tenerife/Sol lace, so would, probably, find it difficult to
comment under any circumstances.
The one thing which strikes me is that the design of the necklace is
*clever*. I have always thought of Nanduti as being made either in a
round or square (such as in your logo) "frame". This piece however,
manages to minimize the frame to the point where it's almost not
noticeable at all, and to maximize the central motif. And *then*, it
turns the whole idea 45ยบ, into a diamond configuration. That *is*, to
my un-tutored eye, a very modern interpretation of a traditional
technique.
