Years ago Slovak contemporary artist Silvia Fedorova gave me this B&W print out of a bobbin lace-making demonstration. Silvia, who runs the wonderful Gallery X in Bratislava, uses traditional bobbin lace techniques to make jewelry, hats, accessories, and objets of wire, plastic, and nylon. I am working on a piece about Silvia and Iveta Mihalikova, another Slovak contemporary artist, who uses a different lace technique, that of needle lace, for making art.
