Lace Flower Kaileidescope

This is another kaileidescope made from one of my lace flowers. I love this one with the beads added.

Withof Flowers

These are some of my lace flowers made into a kaliedescope .

Withof Butterfly

Don't you just love this lovely butterfly? It is a pattern from Sister Judith from the Netherlands. She is the designer of the Withof Patterns. I love the movement of the butterfly.
It is made with 120/2 Egyptian Cotton.

Flowers of Key West

The flowers of Key West interested me into designing these lace flowers. They are done in a Withof Style of lace and were made with 120/2 Egyptian Cotton.

My Dancing Geisha Dancers

These two lace pieces are done in  a Withof Style. I designed them trying to use most of the withof techniques. I then put them on a photoshop page. Each is about 4 inches tall and were made with 120/2 Egyptian Cotton. I used some color Kreink threads in the fan dancer to accentuate the ribbon and the fan.

The Lace Maker

THE LACEMAKER

by Karen A. Trettel

The Lace Maker-

With all her lace supplies;

Watch her quick fingers

And her intent eyes.

Creating beauty,

She plies her art;

of creating lasting beauty

To please her heart.

Each piece is so special,

Made with love and care;

Could be a flower, a doily

Or something to wear.

Lovely colors, or pure white,

She strives for perfection

With her fingers in flight.

Now we are all gathered here

With our own styles of lace,

With a smile in our heart

As well as our face.

Let us create and teach

 this lace we share!

Don't bicker, criticize,

Scoff or compare!

Around the world

Lace makers live;

To collect, create,

Study and give.

So let's work together.

On common ground we will stand;

To learn and grow

And give one another a hand.

Abstract

This piece of lace is an abstract design. The Withof style of lace is my favorite.
