The 5th demonstration of Malaga (Spain June 2003)

Contrary to laces seen previously, we approach laces with cut wire. Here, the "Duchess".

For the training course, the wire employed was a little larger than usually (normally 120/2). The result is consequently less fine.
An advantage of lace with cut wire, it is that one needs much less bobbins. The models resemble drawings and not prickings. It is necessary to use very fine pins and a hook. The ornaments are flowers, sheets, curves, fluid and harmonious lines, volutes with or without snail.
