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 lovely crocheted lace piece is a neutral beige in the interior, but ringed with 2 shades of metallic threads, one a deep blue-grey, and the other a white-gold, perfect for any and all festive occasions! Measures 10.25 inches in length and is 7 inches wide.

SUPERB CRAFTSMANSHIP!
