Rossella is curious about all kinds of embroidery and needlework and she has tried many different techniques!
Punto Madama or Catherine de' Medici Embroidery |
Fantastic Macramé fringe! |
These last two Filet Lace pieces are designs by Maria Lai a famous Sardinian artist who uses textiles in her art. Rossella arranged for us to meet her but I'll tell you about that in another post.
After showing us her needlework and offering us coffee and delicious typical Sardinian pastries, we all piled into our cars and drove to Bosa, for a meeting with the ladies from the association La Foce which practices the ancient art of Bosa Filet Lace. Rossella had arranged for us to visit during one of their sessions where many ladies were working on fine pieces of Bosa Filet Lace.
I wish we could have spent more time in San Vero Milis, they have lots of artisan traditions and the scenery is breathtaking. I'll have to go back!
"I'll have to go back! "... noi siamo sempre qui ad aspettarti, vero Rossella?
