Shirley, thanks for posting the link with the video. I loved Italy and visited Burano.
While I was there I took some photos of the museum (it wasn't allowed, but that does't often stop me...), the lacemakers (that is allowed), and a short video. The lacemakers did not speak any English. They had done the intricate bits and were working on overcasting, presumably because it doesn't require so much attention when tourists and groups of schoolchildren are asking questions. Here's the museum and lacemakers: http://apinnick.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/burano-lace-museum/ A short video of a lacemaker working on a fan design for framing: http://apinnick.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/video-burano-lacemaker/ Panorama shot of the coloured houses, shot with my iPod: http://apinnick.wordpress.com/2012/06/06/burano/ Avital -- Blog: http://apinnick.wordpress.com Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spindexr/sets - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
