Princess Mary
Lace — beautiful, intricate, delicate lace — Julie Roces is synonymous with parchment white lace work. When I’m not in the mood to paint and want to work beautiful white lace work patterns, I can’t help but refer to Julie’s work with parchment lace work.
This beautiful design entitled Princess Mary is one of Julie’s designs from her book Royal Lace. When creating the designs for the book, Julie studied photographs of handmade lace from the last century. She dedicated the designs in the book to the royal family. Her love of timeless lace inspired Julie to create beautiful patterns that will bring many hours of enthusiasm and enjoyment to those who love to create lace work.
In this photo, you see the fine cutting of the lace and the white lace appliqués created by many patient hours of embossing creating white appliqués for the lace. There are two layers of parchment; the inner card is made of a shaded purple parchment paper and the outer card is made of regular parchment paper. I embossed and cut the lace work on the outer card first. When completed, I folded the shaded purple parchment paper and inserted it into the outer card, attaching it with removable scotch tape. I then pierced through four layers of parchment paper around the border. I cut through the four layers of parchment paper with parchment scissors to form the small picots around the border of the card.
I used a 2-split needle tool (the two needles are very close together) to perforate the lace and appliqués and cut the picots within the lace with parchment scissors.
Thank you so much for stopping by, sending you sunny wishes from Florida for a fabulous weekend!
