Hi Spiders, Yeah, I have seen the cover. It looks to be some kind of needle lace concoction. There may be tapes, a la Battenberg, but it is relatively coarse. It does, however seem to be handmade.
Patty ... to wear to the banquet at the next lace event?! On the cover of the February 'Marie Claire' - a beautiful young woman wears a lace-backed dress (note, some interpretation on the term 'back'). I saw it in passing at the grocery checkout, then went to the marieclaire-dot-com site - go to current issue to see a small picture of the cover. Something then went haywire with my browser and it shutdown - must have been the 'back' - but, my, what an interesting way to use lace as part of a garment. If someone else has seen the magazine cover, perhaps they could comment on the style of lace? -- bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
