In our area we have had a very creative lacer, who over came the 'must see the back' rule in 2 creative ways: 1- a butterfly was inserted into one of the acrylic frames molded at an angle to be free standing, 2- a Rib & Roll piece was mounted at the very top to a lovely matted background in a frame (no glass, that would be inserted when she got the piece). Both pieces took awards and the R&R piece received Grand Champion of all the Lace items entered (plus a nice check). Both pieces were easily judged and easy for the Fair Clerks to handle and display. Items at this fair are all displayed behind glass. Just put on your thinking caps.
