Thank you Sister Claire for posting this link. I have spent hours looking at the photographs on the site. There is one photo, #11, entitled Immagine da giovanna, which when I enlarged it, I wasn't sure if it was a very old piece of lace. Some of the edge stitches seem to be worn away. Can anyone tell me if this is an antique?
There are even photos of buildings that look like they have earthquake damage in amongst the lace.

This is a social networking site for lacemakers. You get your own page, a blog, can post photos, make "friends", exchange "comments" and so on, much like Facebook. (When I told a work colleague about it, he immediately dubbed it "Lacebook".) There is also a discussion forum. The site is in Italian, but if you click on Fotografie you can enjoy some wonderful eye candy. The Video page has teaching videos, some quite good indeed. The work in the photos ranges from traditional to modern and innovative, and has been executed by lacemakers from beginners to grand masters.> - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
