I have contributed to the revival that this lace is having nowadays and my interest is
going now a little further as I am looking for the origins of this lace. I call to
European lacemakers interested too, in origins and history of laces that can help me
to find similarities among early and/or ancient European laces, please contact me.

As a sample of this technique, here it is some pages of my first pattern booklet. I
have published the second and third ones that you can find here
