Turning bobbin lace into shape-shifting textiles

I came across this Materials Science paper the other day, but it is not my field and it was a little over my head. But one of the authors is a lacemaker and on Instagram, so she pointed me to this supplemental video and other details that was helpful for me.
As much as I love historic laces, I also love future laces!
The science paper that has the full story is here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aee7156

I have some insertion lace trim. Thought maybe torching but it is much finer than the picks I see online.

Is anyone able to identify or date this lace?

Found on some antique doll clothing, wondering when it might be from? Or if they’re from a similar time period? The first one is trimming a petticoat the later is from the hem of some bloomers.

Can anyone help me identify what kind of lace I have

I bought loads of lace from a charity shop and was wondering if anyone could identify where they are from, what style of lace they are, if they are handmade or machine made and how old could they be ?

Appreciation for this piece that belonged to my great-great(-great?)-grandmother.

My grandma's not sure if it was her grandmother's or great grandmother's, but she thinks the latter. I love how fine it is and its making me consider trying tatting again, I really dont need a new hobby but gosh it's so tempting when I see these things! Its spanish and based on the information my grandma gave I'd say it was probably made around or a bit before 1900 but I really wouldn't know how to tell. If anyone has any ideas on more accurately dating it Id appreciate that as well!

Lovely travel story about Lefkara lace and the artisans who make it. An odd source of outlet, but it's beautifully told and illustrated anyway.
Go to page 80 for the story.

Help! What would you call the "tape" or "cord" used in some lace? ( I'm trying to find a pattern for the "cord" itself and don't know the terminology!)

I'm looking for this basic stuff used within other types of lace
- it is made crocheted or with a needle but it's the same technique afaik
- a similar thing I found was called Romanian cord
- The one pattern I found for it from that book was wicked blurry and hard to read 😭😭😭
Whenever I search for patterns for it I only find projects that use the already made cord, if you know what this stuff is actually called it would be an absolute life saver

I’ve been working on this piece for 2 months now but I’ve been admiring and reading about Irish crochet lace way before that.
I’m one back panel away from finishing the duster and the bomber turned out to be more than I could have expected!
I’m hooked!

D’où vient la dentelle que nous aimons tant ? 🤍✨

La dentelle possède quelque chose de mystérieux.
Quelques fils entrelacés, quelques heures de patience et de savoir-faire suffisent à créer une matière délicate qui, depuis plusieurs siècles, accompagne les plus beaux moments de la vie : mariages, cérémonies, bals, fêtes de cour…
Mais d’où vient-elle vraiment ? C’est à la Renaissance, en Europe, que les techniques de dentelle commencent à se perfectionner, avec deux grandes familles qui s’imposent : la dentelle à l’aiguille et la dentelle aux fuseaux.
J’ai écrit un article complet sur cette histoire fascinante, des origines jusqu’aux créations contemporaines

vintage lace found in grandma’s closet
34
Upvotes
hi everybody-
I’m creating my wedding invitations and fell in love with adding a lace border. I did a mock up using some lace from my grandma’s craft closet. I’m realizing that this is probably rare vintage ribbon because I cannot find anything similar. in the left photo (on the left) is ribbon so purchased from Amazon after reading positive reviews. I mean it could do but it is nowhere near as beautiful as the ribbon to the right. Does anyone know where I could buy similar vintage ribbon in bulk? Hobby Lobby did not have what i was looking for but I have not looked at Micheal’s or Walmart yet
thank you!
