Thanks for the info on the LACMA exhibits - I will definitely return to the
museum in the next month or so - the delight of living near LA. The
particular piece of Halas in the Arts and Crafts Exhibit was a collar of, I
believe, 4 repeated patterns of peacocks. Not only was it beautifully
I went to the website of the Los Angeles County Museum of art and found that
in addition to the Arts and Crafts movement exhibit with the Halas Lace,
there is also another exhibit there that might be of interest to lacemakers.
It
is
_Images of Fashion from the Court of Louis XIV_
Hi All, There is information on Halas lace in Pat Earnshaw's
Outlines and Stitches: A Guide to Design, added to the title is:
with special reference to Halas Needlelaces. My copy was
printed in 1992, ISBN 0-9513891-4-9. The book has directions
for making Halas lace with lots of stitches shown,
