Yay, I did it! :D :D

Yesterday I finished my very first lace (Slovenia is well known by Idrija laces and I recently started learning how to make these). I've always liked Idrija laces, but as they are all completely handmade, they can get really expensive, so I though I might as well give it a shot and try to learn how to make them myself. So earlier this year I bought all the things I needed and about a month ago I started learning how to do these. 

For my first project I chose ... Butterfly, what else?! lol This wasn't the easiest one to start with, but it was worth all the efforts. I love how it turned out. 


And today I made another lace - a four leaf clover. I need to make three of these for the gifts. :)


These laces are both completely handmade. These are bobbin laces (click to get to wiki if you want more details), which means you make them with bobbins - obviously. lol You also need a pattern. I'm just a beginner, but I really like making these laces and will definitely make many more.
