I recently learned about Elizabeth Perkins Wildes Bourne. She was apparently a talented weaver in #Maine, widely known for her counterpanes (coverlets). Reportedly one was in the White House with the Madisons.

Someone overpainted her portrait at some point, and I want to do very bad things to that person. I cannot fathom why they did this to her.

Painting is at the Brick Store Museum in Maine and I plan to visit her soon. I need to see her lace up close.

A nice profile of a #NewZealand lacemaker. She makes #BobbinLace but with a special local fiber. And mounts the lace on traditional breastplate designs that are wonderful.

When old crafts meet modern technology: preparing lace pattern with a laser cutter. I've been using lasers over a decade in my lace work, but due to changes with my day job and home town I had a long pause since last time. Feels good to be burning again!

This #mural artist puts huge #lace on the sides of buildings. I want one for #IpswichLace so much, but I wouldn't invite anyone from outside the US to come here right now.

Anyway, she's giving a talk for #IOLI soon and I will store that in my cheek pouches for some future grant writing when we get out of this phase.
