Clay, Your piece is absolutely stunning as I knew it would be. At Anny's class in Bethesda she brought the pictures up on her laptop and the whole class crowded around to ooh and aah.

[lace] Pictures of Brugge uploaded to Webshots
Greetings, gentle Lacemakers! As some of you know, I have been working on a magnum opus since October of last year. I have been working a piece in Flanders, designed by Anne-Marie Verbeke-Billiet, and finished it last month. I finally remembered to write to her and obtain permission to post pictures of the lace for all of you to see. She has not yet published the pattern, and I was reluctant to post pictures without her permission. This morning, I received an email giving me permission, so the photos have been posted on Arachne's webshots page. I failed to give technical details when I uploaded the photos. The piece was made with Egyptian Cotton 70/2. It required 350 bobbins with 25+/- additional bobbins for gimps. The gimp was reeled silk from Bart and Francis, worked in multiples which varied according to the perspective of object in the piece. The finished piece is 16 wide by 5 1/2 inches high.

Re: [lace] Pictures of Brugge uploaded to Webshots
Hi Clay and all Arachnids, What superb work!! I went to the website straight after I read the email and was totally 'blown away' by that piece. Well done Clay is way too tame for this. 'Follow that' is more like it. You are an inspiration to all lace makers. Happy Lace making, Joepie in extremely wet Sussex.

Re: [lace] Pictures of Brugge uploaded to Webshots
Well done, Clay! Congratulations on finishing it - it is beautiful! When I saw it, at Sweet Briar, I think about half of the lace was visible from the forest of pins - and even at that stage it was much more stunning than the photos show it to be.

Dear Clay That is superb work and design. We lesser mortals can only gaze in admiration at the excellent pictures - thank you so much for sharing them with us.
