I did not make any of this lace. They were purchased on our trip to the Adriatic.
First up is Lepoglava lace from Croatia. It is a type of bobbin lace.
This is Hvar lace, also from Croatia. This lace is unique in that the thread is collected from the aloe leaves of agave plants that grow on the island of Hvar. The leaves are picked at a certain time of the year and are then specially processed to produce a thin, white thread. The Benedictine nuns in the town of Hvar are the only ones who make the Hvar lace. [thanks Wikipedia]
This last one is Idrija lace from Slovenia. It is also a bobbin lace.
