Dear all -- My niece, who is a jeweler (polishedandputtogether.com)
tells me that there is a most exciting jewelry-making technique in
which gold or silver is broken down into minuscule bits and mixed
with a special clay, giving the mixture somewhat the texture and
flexibility of cord. This "cord" is then handled according to the
jeweler-artist's imagination (lacemakers would of course be thinking
about lace).When the piece is finished, it is fired; the clay
vanishes; and lo! you have gold lace.

Hi All-
Some time ago there was a very interesting discussion about bobbin
lace jewelry. Somebody pointed out the most beautiful bobbin lace
colliers made in sterling silver (I think). Another person pointed
out a book published by Ladies in Lithuania. Unfortunately I lost
all this information and I am still intrigued (more like obsessed)
with this way of bobbin lace making.
Would you be able to help me and point me to the right websites or
contact information?
Many, many thanks
