All this talk about needle lace got me thinking I might want to get back
into doing some. I do have a couple of books, but I started wondering
what was new. So I went to the Vansciver website, and noticed that the
only books on needle lace available at the moment are Italian books,
most of them about Aemilia Ars and a few about Veneziano lace. Since I
have not seen either of these laces, nor can I see the books (I can only
purchase lace materials online), it made me wonder what type of lace
Aemilia Ars is. Is it made similar to the type of needlepoint lace that
Nenia Lovesey and Catherine Barley have in their books? Like is the lace
made separately and then sewn to fabric? I don't care much for the
Reticella type lace where you cut a hole in linen fabric and then fill
it with needle lace stitches.
I just wish I could figure out where I got the pattern from for the
needle lace angel that I started eons ago. It looks like it will be a 3D
type angel, though fairly small, and I have done about 1/4 inch of the
dress/skirt, it has beads added near the hem, but I have no idea how to
continue or what stitches should be used. And don't tell me to do my own
thing, I don't know enough to do that.
