Concentration by happypat

Concentration

No photo again today so a dig into the archives.
Taken at the Westmoreland Show in the crafts marquee on the day the Queen died.
These lace makers were very chatty & very willing to explain how they worked but not being a craft person it all went over my head. Very clever though!

Three good things:
1. Friends for lunch.
2. Earphones.
3. Garlic bread.
Nice shot

Nice shot! I think lace making is a particularly special skill, not as widely done as knitting & crochet. Quite fascinating to watch.

That looks so complicated!

Nice shot - but what a delightful and a special craft - so much patience and accuracy needed!!

Nice shot, love the expression of concentration on her face. They are fascinating to watch aren't they. I would get completely lost. I wonder if it is easy to unpick if you go wrong like in knitting.

@onewing No idea Babs, it went way over my head & she dud explain the moves. I suppose knitting would look complicated to start with….I very bad with patience in such things!

@carole_sandford There were quite a few of them busy doing it….I think they have a very active club.

Very complicated& not for me sadly….I do like lace but it was very fine & you would have to have good eyesight!

Pat, you are a craft person, you paint with light in your photos, many of the craft people won't have your eye

@phil_howcroft Well thank you kind sir!,, I never thought of photography like that but you’re right good photographers are very artistic! I think if I had a half way decent camera & the will to learn how to use it I might be ok! I feel in the old days I was taking much better pictures than I do now!

Wouldn't you have to have a great memory! Would be fascinating to watch. I think I'll have garlic bread for lunch!

I know nothing about lace but seeing all the pins and cushions reminds me of my grandmother who always had something in the works. Really nice shot.

Thid doesn't look easy. I admire the patience this must take.
