I used to think I couldn’t come up with spontaneous art ideas. Like I was stunted and naturally didn’t have a sense of vision.
Turns out I was just untrained, and what feels like an artistic gift from the outside is actually a mental muscle that can be trained. Now my problem is I have too many ideas instead.
One of them was this: a little folklore piece inspired by Bohusdräkten in western Sweden. It’s meant for one of my nieces, unasked for but hopefully appreciated. It’s adjustable, from the lacing to extra material in the shoulders and waist. So hopefully she can wear it for a few years.
In Sweden we have this debate about headwear with folk costume. To wear or not to wear. But inspired by Norwegian tradition I decided to make her a little hair band with lace in a matching material to wear with the dress. And the thought struck me that adults could wear that too! I’m trying to make it a thing.
I’ve not weaved the fabrics or constructed the zipper but I’ve made everything else myself. The embroidery, the lacing, the lace, the hooks for closing, even the aglets to thread the string in front.
I hope she and her parents like it and that maybe when she is too big for it she can lend it to her cousin or potential siblings.

Finished tatting the lace letters that spell out “Tax the rich” and glued them onto my bag. Tatted alphabet pattern is from the Etsy shop “FairyLaceAndMore”. #craftivism #GentleProtest #tatting #tattinglace #fiberarts #lacemaking #taxtherich

Off white canvas bag with colorful tatted lace letters on it spelling out “Tax the Rich”.

Most people think of knitting/crochet in "thick" yarn. Most people haven't even seen tatting so... 😅

I use thread with all 3. Crochet thread (or tatting thread for tatting.)
If it's lace, it goes by pretty quick, relatively. More holes, more breeze. Crocheting a vest out of size 3 crochet cotton. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/honeycomb-crochet-tank-top

I'm hoping to make a vest out of tatting (start this year). But in size 10. It's hard to explain thread sizes.

The “Burst of Joy” tatting pattern that I taught at Finger Lakes last month is now available as an instant download in my Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/listing/4305367315/tatting-pattern-burst-of-joy-necklace #tatting #lacemaking #fiberarts #original

A handmade lace necklace in tatting with a double pointed design, shown in white thread and clear beads on a small mannequin. The lace would show at the front of a neckline only and is finished on each side with ribbon to tie around the neck.

Good morning. Watching tatting (lacemaking) tutorials. The most advanced techniques on YouTube are almost never in English. This one is in a Cyrillic alphabet, same with the woman speaking. She's using polyester thread.

I've found with "foreign language" patterns on YouTube, the simplified pattern is on the screen and you can guess accurately at what it means.

I'm also here guessing at human behavior. Yet again. =P

“Stardate” hand dyed thread for tatting, crocheting, lacemaking has been listed in my Etsy shop (yarnplayer). #fiberarts #lacemaking #tatting #handdyed

Skeins of thread for lacemaking that have been dyed by hand in colors shading from magenta, purple, blue, and aqua displayed on a hand to show off the colors.

Cardinal Fortunato Frezza.

I'm leaning towards #bobbinLace here...?

If true, it's probably a full day per cross motif.

#lace #lacemaking #cardinal #guessTheLace #guessTheWorkHours

Cardinal Arrigo Miglio, also rocking some #hemstitching.

Again, probably under 30 minutes per 10cm.

#lace #lacemaking #cardinal #guessTheLace #guessTheWorkHours

Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda.

With a humble bit of #hemstitching (as far as we can see. Could be all 'party at the bottom').

Again, probably under 30 minutes per 10cm.

Edited: found another pic. If that's him at the left of the first row then the white shirt ended as humbly as it started)

Cardinal Oscar Cantoni.

Here it is again. Tape-lace, filet crochet and the little motifs with the yarn "bridges" that look like #RichelieuLace or #MadeiraLace?

A gorgeous piece...

#lace #lacemaking #cardinal #crochetLace #guessTheLace #guessTheWorkHours

I think Cardinal You Heung-sik and Cardinal Leonardo Ulrich Steiner here have the same tailor.

Or at least the same lace-maker :-D

#lace #lacemaking #cardinal #crochetLace #guessTheLace #guessTheWorkHours

Cardinal Lazarus You Heung-sik.

Again with the lace that looks like crochet but is kinda too detailed for crochet...

I wish someone would put me out of my misery here and tell me what it is.

#lace #lacemaking #cardinal #crochetLace #guessTheLace #guessTheWorkHours

Cardinal Filipe Neri António Sebastião do Rosário Ferrão.

OMG. There's element of tape-lace in it, which could be either bobbin lace or crochet (aka Bruges lace). Also, the pixel-art looking lace could be filet crochet again.

So, different crochet techniques? Which would point to hand-made...

If it is hand-made, we're looking at *hundreds* of hours here O.O

#lace #lacemaking #cardinal #tapeLace #bobbinLace #fileCrochet #brugesLace #guessTheLace #guessTheWorkHours

Cardinal Robert Walter McElroy.

This seems to be mainly hemstitching (Hohlsäume)?

Looks kinda hand-made?

I'd estimate under 30 minutes per 10cm.

Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline.

I have no idea, but to me it looks similar to Plauen Lace, which is machine-made AFAIK?

#lace #lacemaking #cardinal #plauenLace #plauenerSpitze

Cardinal Peter Ebere Okpaleke.

This is the one that looks like filet crochet, but kinda woven at the same time?

If it is crochet, I'd estimate maybe 2-3 hours per 10cm?

#lace #lacemaking #cardinal #filetcrochet #guessTheLace #guessTheWorkHours

Cardinal Paulo Cezar Costa.

Could this be bobbin lace?
It is possible to machine-produce some types of bobbin lace, but this looks so elaborate, I'm kinda leaning towards hand-made.

If it's hand-made bobbin lace, I'd say half a day or a full day per oval motif?

Cardinal Virgílio do Carmo da Silva.

This doesn't happen often, but I have *no* idea what type of lace this is O.O

Does anyone have a clue?

#lace #lacemaking #cardinal #guessTheLace #guessTheWorkHours

(I'm gonna post them all, and then I'll return to do the picture description, promise!)

Cardinal Giorgio Marengo.

This looks like tatted lace to me? Plus hemstitching details?

Is it possible to make machine-produced tatted lace?

If it's hand-tatted, I'd estimate several hours per 10cm of lace?

A newly promoted(?) cardinal wearing a red cape over a white shirt-like outfit, und which he seems to be wearing something with red sleeves.
The white sleeves are decorated with hemstitching and a wide lace with lots of curlicues.

Okay, first one:

not technically an outfit, but still white lace :-D

At first glance, I'd say this is filet crochet, but I did see a similar lace in one of the outfits, and there it looked woven?

Anyone wanna weigh in?

If it is filet crochet, I'd estimate somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes per flower motif, so 30 to 60 hours total if we're seeing almost the whole table here.
