I haven't gone to Hutzot haYotzer (International Arts & Crafts fair in Jerusalem) for a couple years, so I was glad to get a chance this year. I ran into Debbie, an Arachne lurker. This year there was a Hungarian bobbin lace maker working on a narrow edging. There's a photo of her in my blog posting:

She didn't speak English or seem very chatty, so I can't tell you anything more about her. http://www.flickr.com/photos/spindexr/sets/72157624700526822/ When I sent two years ago, I photographed a Polish lacemaker who tats and makes bobbin lace. By chance, one of her cards was in the photo, so I was able to put a name to the face: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spindexr/2783769732/ A year later, she found the photo on Flickr and is now one of my Facebook friends. She's very talented and lives in Cracow.
