For centuries women have used cloth as a tool of comfort and as an expression of beauty within their homes. Creating cloth for warmth, cloth for shelter, our female predecessors embellished these linens with hand stitch using laborious and time consuming techniques thereby enhancing the functional beauty of objects which enveloped and protected their families. Inspired by these women I hope my creations pay tribute to and recognise the devotion expressed in cloth by our female ancestors .

Frothy and white.....lace cloth...

 



Lace cloth....love it, the softness, the delicacy, the frothiness.

This isn't new work.

It's here today because Typepad stole all my images.

I'm introducing things here, my new home, as you may not have seen them and because I want them online, I want them to inspire. 

I'm tempted to make more lace cloth now I have been looking at these images.

My 'to do' list won't allow for that today so I will have to be content to just pore over these pictures for now.

It's always good to see your lace cloth, lovely and frothy and delightful. I hope you soon get a chance to make more!

I keep thinking I must bestir myself to make some lace cloth to include in a winter scene in one of my landscapes but obviously I have yet to act upon it.
