In addition to my Split Ring Tatting Addiction, I also teach and design needlelace in the following types: Carrickmacross<\/span><\/b> (Irish), Teneriffe\/Nanduti<\/span><\/b> (Spanish, Paraguay), and Romanian Point Lace<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I had two conflicting lace-related happenings to report to you from my trip<\/span>:<\/p>\n So, I was in Macrame\/Romanian Point Lace Heaven for several days, buying and examining pieces.<\/p>\n Actually it wasn’t extremely common. A textile\/lace shop would only have a few pieces of it, some had none at all. After awhile I started seeing the same design elements in pieces, leading me to believe that the same person(s) created most of the work I found.<\/p>\n These following two pieces were purchased in completely different areas\/shops in Budapest but appear to have the same design elements in both pieces.<\/p>\n Here are some different pieces that I purchased. The three smaller pieces were of higher quality.<\/p>\n This is the piece of Kalocsa Embroidery\/Lace that I purchased in Budapest, Hungary.<\/p>\n Kalocsa is a town 88 miles south of Budapest.<\/p>\n The colored embroidery is hand-done.<\/p>\n Then the ’embroidery’ is turned into ‘lace’ with a sewing machine–usually old sewing machines with the feed-dogs dropped out, creating the design with machine stitching.<\/p>\n This is another hand-embroidery piece that I purchased. It is Translyvannian in design and worksmanship.<\/p>\n It is a pillow cover and is now in my living room.<\/p>\n Alot of the textiles and lace that I found in Budapest had connections to Translyvania (Romania).<\/p>\n If you look closely and can see the detail of the first and last photo, you will note that the textiles are created in a style of embroidery most people know as Hardanger (Scandinavian).<\/p>\n I talked to one shop owner about the origins of the different lace types and she said that the Hardanger-like embroideries that you see in the top & bottom pictures are truly Hungarian. In fact she pulled out her own work to show me.<\/p>\n The middle photo shows Kalocsa embroidery\/lace pieces.<\/p>\n Unfortunately I didn’t have enough money or suitcase space to bring everything home with me!!!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is another posting of my lace finds from my\u00a0September, 2013 honeymoon trip to eastern Europe–Berlin, Dresden, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. I will let you in on a little secret….I’m also interested in needle lace in addition to my main love of tatting.
