"LACE"

"LACE"

Drawing is inspired by the Russian clutch lace.
Lace-making exists in Russia for more than 300 years. Since the last third of the 19th century it has developed into the biggest Russian handicraft. Lace was always closely tied to the household use, such as traditional garments, interiors, etc. Unlike many other types of folk applied and decorative arts that have receded to the past, lace that is used for garments and interiors decoration is still knitted by craftswomen in the ancient centers of lace-making.
