The table is sort of a "structure".
I have been taking my lace while traveling for a good decade. I have not inspired anyone to begin making lace, to my knowledge, but I do wind up talking with a lot of people about it, It is rare to not have a number of people comment each time I bring it out. I have made lace in a number of parks as well as on many beaches. Sometimes I have my stand, sometimes I work with a small pillow on my lap. But, I have not had any issue with park rangers or anyone asking me to leave. I have come to the conclusion that even if no one begins making lace because of what they have seen, at least we have given it a name. I think the better people are educated and familiar with things, the more likely they are to notice it in museums and other places, which will ultimately further our cause.
