Hii, I'm Iris and I'm making tatted doilies! I'm currently a full time student dealing with long covid on top of an already stressful senior year, and I would like to be able to make some extra money to buy groceries and stuff.
At least 10% of each order will go towards a mutual aid fund, I can provide proof if requested!
Examples of my work:
Prices tend to start at $10 and go up depending on size/difficulty, but I can work on a sliding scale!
Last week, we brought you black and white images of 16th century to the early 19th century European decorative lace work from La dentelle ancienne, style et technique by the German lace scholar and collector Alfred von Henneberg, with a foreword by the German art historian Wilhelm Pinder, and published in Paris by the decorative arts publisher A. Calavas for the Librairie des Arts Décoratifs in 1931. This week we present all the color plates from this volume demonstrating the various standard patterns used to make lace designs.
Click on the images to see the captions. The patterns shown here are called “bud,” “shell,” and “toilé.” The patterns are connected to each other with thread designs known as “brides,” which may be simple or extended. Other terms in the captions are fond de neige, a pattern found in Binche lace, a type of bobbin lace that originated in the town of Binche, Belgium, and “pillow-work,” lacework that is created using the surface of a pillow as its ground.
