Attention Idrija lacemakers. I made two of the patterns, in white, from the book "Light captured in the lace". These lamps were shown at OIDFA Zaandam and won first place recognition for Slovenia. For those of you who do not know, these are patterns for lace that is set on a lamp shade made of tracing paper and then set on a wine glass. You put an LED tea light in the glass and the lace is lighted from the inside of the glass. The effect is quite charming; white lace on a white shade.
Has anyone made the lace in colour and what was the effect? A friend has a wine glass with black glass on the bottom and clear glass on top and wondered about making the lace in black. I would like to try working the pattern in a pastel shade but am wondering if the colour would create shadows. Cheers, and thanks, Ruth Johnson - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected].
