Well, it all started out with a new paint job in my kitchen and now I want
to put lace around the three windows that look out on my backyard. I was
thinking that I could do painting but I don't paint flowers or stencil and I
wanted to use an art or craft form that I didn't have to learn.
Maybe I could do a pattern in tatting using really big thread and glue it to
the wall. I could do one color and have it look like carved wood or
something in plaster. Or I could use bright colored thread and have it look
very folk art.
Then I remembered that I like the look of Bruges lace and that style of lace
has all sorts of wonderful flowers to make. I was reading a very old copy of
Lace magazine and found instructions on making three D Bruges and that gave
me another idea. Again I could use one color of thread and have the lace
look carved or I could use bright colors.
But, would thread be a good medium to glue to the wall and when I leave this
house could I take all my work off the wall and take it with me?
So I was thinking maybe I could do this in wire Bruges. I would get
different color wire and rather thick. Or I could do it in black and have it
look like wrot iron.
What do you all think? Please help me with this idea. Prose and Cons. Right
now the idea is just in the beginning stages. Has anyone done something like
this before. I know that Lanka has done great art in wire lace. I am not
planning on doing anything like that. I just want something to go around my
windows, kinda like stenciling or toile painting.
Thanks for your ideas,
