Paisley - Idrija Narrow Tape Lace 

This is my first attempt at designing a pattern. I worked it four times before I was satisfied.

Idrija Lace Insert for Blouse 

I took an old tablecloth pattern from the 1940's or 50's and reworked it so that it would fit into a v-necked top.

Bottle Works Vase, 2010

A collaborative effort between my husband Tom and me.

The vase was turned by him from a piece of apple wood from a tree that was in my brother Pete's backyard.

The lace "bouquet" is a pattern designed by Irma Pervanja.  The trim around the top is from the book, Idrija Lace by Bridget Cook and Metka Tratnik. Both pieces were worked by me.
