About this work

Strip of natural-colored bobbin lace, blonde. The repeating pattern consists of a fan mirrored along the length axis, forming shells at the top and bottom of the strip. Between the mirrored fans, an openwork diamond-shaped field is formed, containing a decorative ground. The diamonds feature continuous contour threads crossing on the length axis.
