Triennial Lace Awards

Australian Lace hold the Tirennial Lace Awards to encourage lacemakers to create amazing designs based on a theme.  The 2009 award was themed Rainforest and there were eight categories.  The images above are only some of the amazing creations.

Britt Fiarchild created the beautiful flowing bodice which she wore with pride to the AGM.  The second image shows the detail of this design.

Olwyn Scott created the amazing pictorial frames, one of which is pictured. 

It would be great to see such amazing works featured on the Lace Guilds Website.  These images were scanned from the Guilds journal so apologies for the poorer quality.
