- Yesterday you could see a shadow of an angel, reflected in our high gloss bathroom cabinet vanity.
- Today I want to show you more of our window treatment, that I made by hand.
- Getting a good photo of these angels is about as hard as making the curtain...
- You can see the balcony's balustrade to the right and the white vinyl fence below.
- Such a window treatment is very hard to capture on camera but at least I tried!
- Here I've hand made two angels facing each other in filet lace embroidery.
- This is the machine made net on which I did the Filet Lace Embroidery.
- There is a crocheted edging all around for being able to fasten it on the tiny brass nails, that are painted white.
- Very easy for laundering and putting it straight out from the washing machine back onto those brass nails.
- Never do they get rust stains because of the brass.
- Even from the outside it is very hard to capture as it is way up high and behind a vinyl fence.
- So I had to zoom in, standing below on the ground.
- There is a screen in front of the window, that makes the filet lace embroidery look less clear.
- Our home will get a pressure wash and a new painting coat in May; that will also take care of the screen as they have to come off.
- This is the pattern I used from the book: Hemels Handwerkboek by Marie van den Berk-Mertens
- Above link will send you to Amazon.com
- hemels handwerkbook
- heavenly handworkbook
- This book is in Dutch but language doesn't really matter for following the patterns.
Is anyone of you also working with Filet Lace Embroidery?

Mariette, ich kann diese Handarbeit nicht.
ReplyDeleteDie Engel sind wunderbar geworden und eine
wahre Augenweide. Ich kann mir vorstellen,
dass es eine "Heidenarbeit" war.
Einen schönen Dienstag wünscht
Irmi
Dat is zulk mooi handwerk. Ik heb het jaren geleden eens gemaakt en het is erg leuk om aan te werken. Het boekje heb ik ook. Fijne dag, lieve groet

Hola Mariette, Que bonito tienes el blog con tantas cosas bellas como pones en el, da gusto verlo. Feliz Semana Santa. Besos.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love making filet crochet items too. I made a few small doilies and bookmarks that I designed myself as it's quite easy to make simple designs for filet crochet.
never done anything like that! looks wonderful
ReplyDeleteIo adoro tutto ciò che è fatto a mano e le tende sono una delle cose che amo di più. Le tende in una stanza fanno la differenza, la rendono elegante o sobria, allegra o soft. Queste a filet con gli angeli sono dolcissime, molto raffinate. Complimenti. Paola
ReplyDeleteWat mooi Mariette! Erg gaat niets boven handwerk, ook zo mooi met het licht op de foto.
ReplyDeleteGroetjes Janny
Just bloody awesome........
