A piece of needlelace I found two days ago from a local charity shop for 50 p. I love needlelace and would like to have the patience to make such delicate works of art. It is my second find of this type of craft, I got one years ago which I used to customise a t-shirt. I am getting ideas like trying my hand at making it with thicker thread or maybe using colour. A bit of research got me to this piece which is almost identical to mine. It is Venetian Needle lace. I even managed to find a page with contemporary motives and some lovely old pieces from a similar lace coming from Bologna. The peacock and the womans head would make interesting brooches.

Hojas de encaje - Lace Leaves
Recien encontradas en la tienda de segunda mano a 50 peniques. Creo que son de encaje a la aguja, algo que me encanta. Me pregunto cuanto se tarda en hacer este tapete con un hilo tan fino. Es una fuente de inspiracion , podrian hacerse piezas parecidas con hilo mas grueso. Es la segunda muestra de este tipo que tengo, la otra ya aparecio aqui hace años. Hice una busqueda y encontre una muestra identica , se trata de Encaje de Venecia. Aqui tienen motivos contemporaneos . Otro muy parecido a este es el encaje de Boloña, aqui tienen unos motivos antiguos, un pavo real y una cabeza de mujer quedarian bien como broches.A piece of needlelace I found two days ago from a local charity shop for 50 p.

Collares Oya - Oya necklaces
Los descubri hace tiempo y desde entonces tengo curiosidad por saber como se hacen. Hace unas semanas los vi en una de las boutiques de Portobello Green, uno de mis rincones favoritos del mercado. 
I found them several years ago at a market in Marylebone Village. I tried to find out about the technique without sucess. A few weeks ago I came accross them again at Portobello Green,(one of my favorite corners in Portobello Market) were they are also sold, unfortunately the shop was already closed.

Turkish Oya Lace - Encaje de Turquia Oya
El otro dia dando una vuelta por el mercadillo "Cabbages & Frocks", en Marylebone, encontre este puesto vendiendo unos collares y broches preciosos. No estoy segura si echos con aguja de coser o de ganchillo. Me traje una tarjeta con publicidad, de alli di con su pagina web, donde se aprecia mejor el detalle de su ejecucion. Aqui podeis ver el uso tradicional que se da al Oya, principalmente como tocados en el atuendo tradicional de las mujeres y hombres.
