Greetings from California,
I am so happy to see all the interest in needle lace. I made a
promise to a dear woman who is no longer with us at the lace museum
to carry on and learn and teach needle lace. Since that time I have
taught a few workshops here, and there has been more interest in the
Sacramento and Bay areas. I have added pictures of some orchid
flowers I designed.
I also enjoyed seeing the Halas flower. I wonder if there is any
proof that it was made in Hungary. i would agree that it looks like
the petals are the fish, but the official fish were more like a stamp
or watermark in the other designs. We have a piece at the museum. I
also find it interesting that it does not contain any of the
signature cloth stitch. I have made a couple of attempts to work
Halas following the instructions in Pat Earnshaw's book. My Kokopeli
has been on my webshots album and I have just added a rabbit I had
done, also some time ago.
Well, back to lurking.
