Helene Kuma was born in 7th September, 1921 as Helene Gutmann.
Sadly she died 11th October, 2009 at the age of 88.
She trained as a ceramic artist, but learnt bobbin lace from her mother.
You can read about the many honours she was given at:

Most readers will need to run it through Google translation page.
If you take a closer look at the 2 photos of the Geode pictures there
are small pearls included.
For those who are IOLI members, there is a small paperback book of
Helene Kuma's work,
donated by yours truly in 2005. I suggest that you borrow it next time
you request a book from
the IOLI Library.
Now back to proofreading the IOLI Bulletin.
