Dramatic! It is surprising that we were not told about this lace by our friends in Amsterdam. Thank you so much for bringing it to our attention - from South Africa. The links are interesting. In our years of reading Arachne, we've had the opportunity to view large lace installations in several nations, requiring the professional skills of architects. Some very special architects present lace to people who otherwise would never consider attending a museum's lace installation. Let's declare a "Be kind to architects holiday".

Thanks to a link on Facebook I have just been looking at the winning entry in the 2016/17 Festival of Light in Amsterdam. It is a 12m x 6.8m piece of lace suspended over one of the canals in Amsterdam. They had to make the design in crochet to give it strength but it looks quite authentic in the pictures. Quite inspirational. Have a look at http://www.choishine.com/Projects/TheLaceConcept.html - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
