Dear Nancy,
sorry, yesterday I had to visit my wildcats and five young lynx babies.
I understand you very well, more I try to understand everything a bout lace
more I got the feeling that I know nothing.
To find out the age of laces is always difficult and only after pictures also.

I'm usually a lurker and now your ideas are needed about definitions for
bobbin lace and needle lace. There are various descriptions of many kinds of
bobbin lace or needle lace but they are not definitions of either term. True
handmade lace is weaving in contrast to other forms of making objects
Some hand made lace is weaving - some is not.
Some machine made lace is woven, some isn not
Some weaving is lace, some is not.
As a starting definition I would describe lace as:

HI I am new to Arachne.. and I am flabergasted as to the amount of discussions
going on. This is so great I am reading and and seeing so many great

i too can not seem to find where to download the patterns... I am not great

Hello, Brenda! Here is a quote from a catalogue published in 1989 by the
Baltimore Museum of Art
in connection with an exhibition of the Museum's extensive lace collection:
Lace is a textile whose identity depends entirely on the arrangement and
proportion of the spaces
between the threads
I would say:
Holes with textile surround, typically placed strategically for esthetics.
We know that lace can be created even with holes in plastic. The word weave
indicates variations of patterns of in and out. Though weaving tends to
indicate a technique, one is weaving with bobbins,

the man who runs the bobbinlace group on flickr has just posted photos of the
lace exhibition recently at Idrija. Quite a few photos. Some very
interesting modern designs, as well as the expected tradfitional type. Also
photo from the permanent lace exhibit at Idrija.
