Lost in Lace
Yesterday I went to the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery to see the lost in lace exhibition. Its full title- Lost in Lace: Concealed and Revealed This tells the stories behind lace, revealing hidden histories and the often dark side of these beautifully made items. That was I admit from the leaflet I took away but I agree completely.

This was one of my favourites, very erie...
A very fine piece of lace...
I can imagine a smaller version in my bedroom...
