When Astrid Hansen's "Femten Bredere: Tonderkniplinger" came out, I
remember how surprised many of us were to find that the printed
prickings in the book were on red card! I thought it would be very hard
on the eyes. But apparently it was traditional in Tonder lace to use
this color card. A friend was able to scan the prickings and print them
so they have a white background. But I'm happy to have learned this
interesting bit about Tonder!

Fascinating pictures. Lovely lace, done a bit differently, or at least from a
slightly different point of view. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm wondering
about the orange pricking card, which is used several times, as I thought we
used things on the pillow that were easy on the eyes, like blue and green, or
the perennial tan pricking card. Different ideas provide inspiration, and also
teach us that there's more than one way to do things. lrb

This album has several interesting pieces of embroidery on hexagonal net,
using 2 layers of net: black and white. It also has a wildly colorful tatted
collar.
