Free Lace Scarf

Free Lace Scarf (Originally uploaded by randubnick)

This is the free lace scarf that I made Monday night in the fiber arts class at Red Brick. This is the third of three photos that I took of the process. (See posts for June 10 and 11.) It was great to watch the pattern of ribbons on cellulose paper turn into lace as the backing dissolved in water. And it was also fun to see the two-dimensional pattern of ribbons take on the three-dimensional properties of fabric. This photo shows how the scarf drapes and moves in three dimensions. Well, the scarf is basically finished, though I plan to add more fringe to the ends. After that, I may post another photo to show how the scarf looks when it is worn.
