I would have done a horizontal flip to this to make it more optimistic. very dutch.
Ian Porter
oh – and a great picture!
jo beerens
Thanks Ian. No room for a landscape shot. Tiny crowded room which was filling up with more people.

I love how the natural light falls perfectly in this photo – really well done

Beautiful lighting from the window. I once watched some elderly ladies dong this, which in the lacemakers language (in English, at least) is called ‘tatting’, and very meticulous in it’s fashion.
Nice work.

Lovely portrait Jo.
Gilberte
Beautiful lighting and very nice subject, illustrating the lacemaking in Belgium.Was this taken in Bokrijk?Do you know which kind of lace she makes? Or was it just for the show?
jo beerens replied
Thanks Gilberte. Yes this one is taken in Bokrijk. I was too busy taking this photo so all the information I have was that she is a real lacemaker as she was busy on a piece and also answering questions from other people.

i love to see this beautiful craft being practised, a lovely image, brings to mind Vermeer’s lacemaker.

Dayonda
Such a cool pic. She almost has to have a “Cleanroom” like they use in labs. I know if I crochet or knit anything I always get plenty of my hair, Kelly’s hair, and the cats’ hair in it. . .

Wow Jo, I love this image! She looks very focused as well.
