Free Lace Scarf (Drying on Rack)

Free Lace Scarf (Drying on Rack) Originally uploaded by randubnick

I am taking a fiber arts class at Red Brick Studios, and last night we learned to make free lace. This is free-form lace made by arranging ribbon and yarn on sticky cellulose paper, covering with a layer of clear cellulose, and stitching a grid through the layers. The cellulose layers dissolve when immersed in water, leaving just the lace. Last night I posted a photo of my project with the ribbons attached to the cellulose paper. The photo that I am posting tonight is also from last night's class, and shows my free lace scarf, drying on a wooden rack.
