It's worth looking at this web site just for the portrait of the French lace
maker!!  Do any of you recognize the artist?

Wow, what beautiful lace -- Thanks for the information, Devon! It's inspiring 
to see such lovely, intricate lace is still being bought and used in such 
settings (presumably), as it was in past centuries.

Speaking of lace and religion I was researching the other day, and I came 
across a reference to lace in the Old Testament -- or so it appears, though 
it's 
not entirely clear to me what is being described here -- if anyone can 
clarify, please do!

Exodus 28: "And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory 
and for beauty . . . And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them 
the names of the children of Israel . . . And thou shalt put the two stones 
upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of 
Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders 
for 
a memorial . . . And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, 
like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. And thou shalt put it 
on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre 
it shall be. And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the 
iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all 
their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be 
accepted before the LORD" (vv. 2, 9, 12, 36-38).

I think that might mean "lace" such as a narrow woven strip (as in shoe
lace, although in this case it would have to wider than that).

And although your computer states that I sent the first email (not always as
smart as they think they are, computers) it was Devon, and I'm glad to see
that the body of your email is addressed to her ... I was just wondering
about the painting of the lacemaker that appears on their lace web page.

Best,
Carolyn
