Hi Karen, Aha, I've found it!  Here's a website of museums in Florence:   http://www.museumsinflorence.com/index.htm   It's very good, and I'm pretty certain that the lace display I saw was in the Palazzo Davanzati museum.  Half way down the Palazzo Davanzati's page the lace collection is

Some time this year I'm planning to take my current work in progress to the Cleveland Museum of Art, plop myself near a painting that has lace in it, and work on my lace.  Can't exactly call it a bombing...more along the lines of a little firecracker... Peg in an unseasonably warm Fairview Par

In an era when several nations are reeling from mass shootings of children, should we associate with the word "bombing", even if it is connected to pop culture? As I thought about this, I was reminded how much time it takes bobbin lace makers to set up and pack up after lace demonstratio

Leave it to you, Tess, to come up with an excellent model of how to raise awareness. It is an excellent way to start. Although lace bombing is another way to put lace in front of the public, and, hopefully, get people wondering what it is. Almost any way to put handmade lace in front of the p

I think almost any celtic knot design could be converted quite easily into milanese or other tape laces - just by tracing the outlines of the knot and adding pinholes at an appropriate spacing, then work whatever braids & fillings feel right for the width/shape of your knot sections... I'm sur
