Morning Modelbuch (9/11/2019)

16th century Danish or Northern German towel with multiple types of lace, accession number 06.688. We see the big pieces with mixes of bobbin lace and cutwork, I enjoy seeing smaller pieces that combine them as well. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/120030569

Pagano’s _Giardineto novo di punti tagliati et gropposi_ is the first place i go to look for cutwork patterns. Originally published in 1550, the Met’s copy is the 1554 version. http://metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/338670
