In a tiny village in the mountains of Gorski Kotar, we came upon a woman who works day and night to create THE most beautiful lace pieces we've every seen! This lace-making is a passion of hers, it is her form of self-expression, and it is an art form from Croatia that without a doubt should be protected and preserved. 

Crochet and lace making is an old folk art also known as "drawing" with a thread! Durda Pintar Janes learned this art as a small girl from her family and is mainly self-taught due to her enthusiasm and love of crochet.

This OUTSTANDING open-lace piece is a pale green in color, and has been created using an absolutely gorgeous design; it measures a generous 12in x 12in.
