So - do you like beetles? Embroidered beetles? How about beetles in top hats? Beetles with needlelace wings? What about beetles exchanging beetley vows?

So obsessed with this circa 1660 embroidered eggshell! You can see it on display at Witney Antiques' free exhibition, open until 23 November. We determined it's made by drilling holes in the shell, using a long needle to create a network of lines, then creating patterns with needlelace stitches

Recently I got angry about #AIslop beginner books in lace. So I reached out to Sam at @404media.co and showed her our problems. She did a great piece on that, out today.
@yarnplayer.bsky.social I pointed to your site, btw. Thanks!

It's a super foggy winter morning this morning. So I fished into my box of treasures and pulled out these soft grey and blue-white pieces to arrange.

I love this poem by Elise Youssoufian! Threads, needles, weaving. I looked this author up, and they are a needlelace maker!
@autonomouspress.bsky.social
"Let your wildest dreams go
Everywhere, all around you
Let them fly free."
"Weave them into a basket
To hold the dead things."

I am cracking up at the Founding Fathers adorned with so much lace in the recent Ghosts episode "Alexander Hamilton and the Ruffle Kerfuffle".
Yes, it's machine lace, but still I swooned.

I finally finished this project from a 2023 IOLI Convention in the needle lace technique Aemilia Ars. I made lots of mistakes, and my technique can definitely use some improvement, but it was a really fun class, and I learned a ton!
