Head, neck and shoulder decoration

maker: Pavel Kašpárek

“When making my lace I had in mind: to prove that the traditional bobbin-lace technique is meaningful and worth using;
to get rid of any ornaments within the work that have no function;
to create an accessory that emphasises the natural beauty of a woman’s body;
to give new meaning to old and useless material (the copper was part of an old machine component).”

Bobbin-lace technique using copper wire and synthetic metallic thread.
