Event Overview

Hi my name is Victoria and I am a needle and thread artist focused on 3D floral design patterns. In 2015, I discovered Igne Oyasi, which translates to crochet flowers or needlelace flowers. As someone with sensitive skin, I wanted to find jewelry pieces and accessories that were hypoallergenic. After owning a few pieces, I decided to take it upon myself to learn the technique to make my own patterns and style of handwoven lace jewelry.

The art in its purest form, only require needles, threads, and sharp scissors. This type of jewelry has to be made by hand because of the intricacies and sculptural nature of lacework.

Everything from the flowers to the details are done by hand with a fine tapestry needle and the best Egyptian cotton thread or metallic threads. Floral pieces can take a few hours to a few days to finish and consists of hundreds of tiny knots to form handmade lace.

Part of my mission is to grow a community of admirers or crafters interested in the artistry and craft of needlelace. This form of art is new to the English world and I would love to share my knowledge of needlelace techniques.
