I found the strangest lace on eBay.  It is listed as a collar but shown 
draped over a head form.  There's lots of pictures so it takes a moment to 
load.  The closeup pictures show that the base fabric of the collar is 
knotted lace like is used for Filet or Lacis.  The flowers attached are 
neither needlelace nor bobbin lace.  Anyone seen these before?  This collar 
looks like it would make a good stage prop.  It would look lacy from a 
distance yet be sturdy for rough handling.

Only in the close-up could I finally make out the netting knots.  But the
applique is completely unfamiliar to me.  It almost looks like something
made of, I don't know, toothpaste or white caulking or some substance like
that.  (I can see it's not, but it's so big and, and, uh, GLOOPY looking!)

This might sound random, but it (the thick white stuff) looks like a 
strange mix of cheap net curtain and the 3d puff paint stuff.
