Flanders projects 

Like most of my lacemaking experience I learnd to create Flanders lace from a book. I don't like to create dozens of unfinished pieces nor to work endlessly on the same piece. So I turned exercises into frames for passport photographs (34 x 46 mm, 1'3" x 1'8"). Thus I learned to draw a litle too and could also practise corners and sewings.

I was sad that only after cutting I discovered that I hadn't a tension problem while knotting, but had forgotten two rows of clothstitches.
