This is just incredible💜

Congrats to everyone who contributed in any way to make this beautiful sculpture which used traditional techniques of bobbin lacemaking, dating back to the 1750s.

The Headford Lace Project: Lace Matrix was expertly designed by Róisín de Buitléar and Jackie Magnin

@RdeBuitlear @headfordlace

[headfordlaceproject @headfordlace]

Work is continuing on #LaceMatrix @galway2020 today, with Ger expertly weaving in the thread ends, as you can see below. It is quite intense work, as you can imagine there are a lot of ends to weave. But it is progressing! @RdeBuitlear We should have more photos to share soon!

[Galway 2020 @galway2020]

Amazing 💜
