punto in aria

Punto in Aria means "points in the air". I won't go into the history of it; if you're interested, click on the name.

This is needlemade lace done without a ground fabric (hence: points in the air!) It's a lot of fun 'cause the possibilities are endless. Most designs are geometic or floral, with the emphasis on the former. I created a rather Colonial Americana design because at the time, my house was decorated in that look. I've always meant to do another freeform design like this but have not gotten around to it. Maybe when there's the next big snowstorm (hmmm. . .that could be May. . .better start planning).
