Wouldn't it be fun to live where these things are still made and even worn?
No, I do not want to move to Russia ;-) I was just admiring the lace
beadwork and embroideries.
VERY interesting.
Thanks for sharing this, Elise

Subject: [lace] Russian fiber arts festival
In case anyone is interested, here is a link to the website for a folk art
event in St Petersburg held recently. There are lots of quilts and
clothing,
and a few pictures of lace. I fell in love with both lace cuffs shown on
this
page http://www.quilters.ru/events/events_detail.php?ID=2741
The torchon one doesn't look too difficult, maybe just a bit tedious with
all
the diamonds. Looks like it might work up quickly. I thought the point
ground
one on the left was beautiful, but I wish there were a better picture
without
all the gathers. It makes it hard to see the pattern with all the fullness
gathered up.
