May'13 Theme Day - The Creative Artisan
May 1st. Today is the international day of work, and the theme in CityDailyPhoto Bloggers community, is the creative artisan. Definitely a great day to remember old trades, or to claim that those jobs are not lost in oblivion. We must thank the artisans who still continue maintaining these jobs, despite being in the XXI century.
The image, parade Bando de la Huerta. Spinners, bobbin lace.
Bobbin lace is a lace textile technique consisting of interwoven threads that are wound into coils initially called bobbin, for better management. As work progresses, the tissue is held by pins stuck in a cushion, called "scene". The place of the pins usually determined by a pattern of holes in the pad.
The lace can be performed with coarse or fine threads. Traditionally, made from linen, silk, wool and cotton subsequently. Also with precious metal wire. Today also performed with a variety of synthetic fibers, wires or other filaments.
gorgeous work on the garment.
