Hi Peg,
I like your idea of making the type of lace shown in the painting next to
the original painting. A real labour of love for lace.
The parchment they would have used was made from animal skin (usually goat
or sheep) and was very expensive.
Happy lace making.

A few months ago I posted a link to a picture I found at the Cleveland
Museum
of Art that had incredible lace detail. The picture is Portrait of a Woman
by
Cornelis Janssen van Ceulen. (Google it and find the Wikimedia
page...you'll
be able to zoom in on the picture.) <..........
.........>I had been thinking of wearing a costume, and
having everything authentic. I read they used parchment as the base. Any
ideas where I can find some heavy enough to use for this purpose? All I've
been able to find is either the kind you cook with, or parchment paper for
calligraphy.
I'm enjoying this creative streak very much!
Peg
