It’s been lonely in my lace studio lately – the only soul that has kept me a company was my dear friend, the Lace Maiden, who has been with me for twenty years and shared many of my lace adventures. When the local health authorities suggested a physically distant Hallowe’en celebration, I did not have to look far for my substitute. To make the best from the situation, I decided to send the Mysterious Maiden to greet the kids and oversee the fair distribution of candies. The masked figurine has a strange presence that never fails to surprise people (and dogs!) … especially on clear autumn night when breeze is gently moving her black veil and the full moon illuminates the silhouette of a creature that could seemingly move between the worlds of the living and the dead… It would be a shame to skip the popular spooky night because of not so popular spooky virus… and it’s never a bad idea to add some lace art to the favourite neighbourhood events 😉 Cheers to a chilling All Hallows Eve!
