Bedford Lace

Lace is as much about the space between the threads as it is about the threads themselves.

The reason I'm back-blipping is because I've had a bad couple of days fatigue-wise, which is also why this is such a boring blip! Yesterday's (uploaded earlier today) was much better.

This pretty little trinket-box was a gift when I left Bedford where I had lived and worked for about eighteen months. The town had a tradition of lace-making in a particular style, dating back to the sixteenth century.

Yes! I've even managed to find a song about lace!
