Hello all,
As a matter of fact, there are several Spanish bobbin lace groups
that are run through Yahoo, Gmail and other forum sites, the Ibn Al
Baytar being just one local group that has a Facebook presence as
well as its forum.
Yes, there's Latin American lacemakers (Spanish and
Portuguese-speaking) and the actual Spanish, and we are everywhere,
he he he <mad scientist cackle>
The Brazilian (Portuguese-speaking) lacemakers do both bobbin lace
(like that lovely white sun-dress we saw in a link not long ago), and
the Nhanduti, which is also known as Teneriffe lace.
Also, in regions of Argentina there is a variant of filet lace called
"randa Tucumana" and it's quite lovely.
The Spanish lace day albums you can see in Picassa are fantastic
because they give an idea of the popularity and passion of bobbin
lace on both this and that side of the pond.
And if any Arachne ever has a question regarding technique or any
other aspect of Spanish bobbin lace, we also have a couple of great
Spanish lace designers among us, namely Carolina Guerrero and Antje Gonzalez.
Well, I'm off to have hot chocolate and "churros" this gray and rainy
day in Toronto,

There is a forum for Spanish speakers. Someone from there left a
comment at my lace blog.
The Nanduti (sp?) group have a discussion board, it seems to me. From
time to time we hear from them 'here.'
I'm sure there are more, that we don't know about ;)
