abc wednesday —L is for "lace"

I was fascinated by this piece
of lace that was started long ago but
never finished.  I snuck this shot in
the Correr Museum, which is dedicated
to the life and culture of Venice.

    I'm wondering who started that lacework and why they stopped. I tend to think procrastination is a modern trait but perhaps it was alive and well long, long ago.

    What an intricate and beautiful piece of work. Unfinished but still a lovely piece and I love the spindle with thread too.

    Lace-making is a dying art - this picture is just beautiful. Excellent composition.
