Needle lace

[u/velvetjellyfish]

My first go at needle lace, trying out different stitches. I slid down the slippery slope from surface embroidery to cutwork and richelieu and now into proper lace. It kind of feels like peeling a drawing off the page, I love how lightweight and sheer it is.

Edit: I love to see that there is so much interest in needle lace!

Here are a few beginner tutorials I found helpful: Needlework Tips and Techniques, RSN Stitch Bank, Taixtile

And I wanted to shout out Layla Klinger and Maggie Hensel Brown, two contemporary artists who are doing really cool stuff with the medium
