Barnacles

Doylies made from lace used to serve purpose protecting our furniture as antimacassar or used as ornamental placemats to place our china on.
Trying to help the tatting lace evolve into modern life I keep on searching for ways to shape the lace in different forms.
In the Barnacles project the lace has shaped in ways were it reminded me of these sea barnacles.
The wall design is build up out of the same element repeating each other, allowing this piece to form to whatever size and function desired.
