To Devon and everyone I have the privilege of examining a new publication from Deutscher Kloeppelverband, Spitze im Raum, Lace in 'space' - it is entirely a 'spatial' theme.
Here is serious lacemaking - technically excellent; visually interesting; art-y, well crafted; creatuve wall art, 'sculpture' or lighting fixtures. I see it as Applied Design. Made entirely by bobbin lace technique that we would recognize, cross-twist and variations, but beyond that, for the hobby lacer 'here', in such interesting ways! The creativity of those in the DK organization knows no bounds; I'm impressed to bits. I notice the first pattern of the 32 offered is by one Ilske Thomsen, a mood piece entitled 'Departure' (Aufbruch), featuring leaf shapes placed on an interesting roseground/dieppe/Mayflower background, approx. 10 x 7 inches. It is in German, but if there is ever an English translation, I'm first in line to get one. Offered in English, the usefulness of the publication to the greater lace world would increase.
