Interesting. Where are these illustrations 2 and 3? I looked at your
flickr photos, but can't see the actual thing being made, so I can't see the
structure. The article's description of the pillow sounded like a Spanish
bobbin lace pillow, but your illustration doesn't look at all like one.
Lace before 1400 would have been knotted square netting (fisherman's net),
on a small scale, embroidered. I don't know anything about the dating for
Chebka (Tunisian needlelace) or puncetto or oya. I don't know if they are
older than punto in aria.

Subject: [lace] Spanier arbeit
Dear spiders,
I received an email from someone in NY who wanted to know whether I
knew of anyone who makes Spanier arbeit today. Here's an article, if
you're not sure what it is:

The person who emailed me contacted David Farkas, mentioned in the
article, but he wasn't interested in helping him. I was approached
because he found this photo I took in the Israel Museum:

Best wishes,
Avital
