Featured Lace from a tray

    This 7and a half inch long 4inch wide piece was sandwiched between two pieces of glass from an 800 German silver tray. The glass was broken so I washed the lace and tried so far unsuccessfully to cut a new piece of oval glass. Not sure yet if I will scrap the tray and frame the lace. Anyway, @Northern Lights Lodge am I correct that this is handmade bobbin lace? It’s cotton thread I think.

    Hi Houseful!
    YES! Correct indeed! You did a lovely job blocking! I take my frames to a glass shop and let them cut the glass!

    Great! I thought possibly bobbins as I’ve seen them cross over to twist the thread and so it seemed most likely.
    I am awed by those who can do this very complicated sort of work.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It's beautiful. If you do have it framed, please post an "after" photo!
