I just saw this and was absolutely blown away, The artist NeSpoon travels around Europe and paints murals based on local lace-making traditions. The Guardian has a pictorial article today on her work, entitled Lace-inspired murals celebrating European folk traditions – in pictures. It is absolutely stunning. The text states:
Each design is unique, inspired by the people she meets and the tales she hears. ‘Wherever I am, I meet and interview members of the local lace guild, and scour museums and historical sources for inspiration,’ she says. ‘I often ask people who live nearby if they have any lace at home. I always find something interesting.’
