I took a class last year in which a local doctor wanted to learn how
to make lace so that he could make a fence like this. Here is a
webpage with a video about the show.

Picked up a book from the Library called LACE IN TRANSLATION. Very
cool lace
that people have made using different techniques and materials.
My favorite is the lace fence...
http://www.lacefence.com/
It's bobbin lace made with wire, with chain link fencing used for
the ground.
The book showed the panels being made in a workshop in India by
constructions
workers. Interesting story. What started as an art installation
has grown
into a business.
To see more panels go into Yahoo or Google's Image tab and type in
"lace fence
by demakersvan". I'd love one of their panels!
More pictures and information on the book here...
