Helen It is interesting to me how many people are now putting color into their lace. Your idea of just using colored gimp is one I never thought of. I'll have to try it. I still remember a piece in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, just a fragment really. It had multi colored flowers in a colored shiny thread, with several different colors in each flower, so the flowers came out plaid. Same for leaves. The ground, a torchon mesh I think, was black. I think the date was the 1890s. Did rayon exist back then? Perhaps it was silk. But I keep on remembering that piece, and am screwing up my courage to do the same. Lorelei
