On Exhibition Now!
Finishing touches! All pins removed, ends sewn, and now it’s time to admire the completed lace piece. It’s incredible to think that this 5x2-foot work began as a pile of plastic bags. Now, it is an eco-conscious art piece, challenging perceptions of disposable materials and celebrating the power of transformation. 🌎✨

You can see this finished lace piece in the Fiber Artists of San Antonio’s exhibition Circularity.
It will be on exhibit from November 10th through December 13th, 2024 at the University of the Incarnate Word’s Semmes Gallery in San Antonio, Texas.

Mistakes happen, even in lace! 🛠️ When I noticed the honeycomb stitch was misaligned, I took the lace apart and adjusted it up one row. It’s all part of the process—making lace in a unique way means adapting and adjusting.

Torchon ground stitch in progress! This stitch, combined with a half stitch along the edge, adds structure to the lace. Each tiny detail matters in bobbin lace, since every stitch builds the larger design. Working with plastic adds its own unique set of challenges—and rewards. 🧵💙

Rotating the boards and releasing pins! This part of the process is so satisfying as the pattern is allowed to continue. Here, I’m working on a diamond shape using four spider stitches. It’s exciting to see the design evolve. 🕸️
