Rope Interlace

I found this image in the 2008 Australian Lace Journal.  Christine Wareham-Norfolk used 3 metres of decorative rope and gradually subdivided it to grow into a multi-stranded wall hanging.  One piece of rope is gradually divided into 288 individual threads.

Christine used coir door mats as her pillow and nails as her pins.  Torchon stiches were used to make the piece in a free style.  This helped to create such a unique organic form.

Congratulations Christine for turning an idea formed with friends over a bottle of wine into this stunning finished piece.
