Aquarium Filet Lace Doily

Description

Five filet lace fishes swim through the underwater kelp forest, sending up little bubbles to the surface. I made this lace mat with fine size 30 white crochet thread using the filet technique, where fairly detailed pictorial scenes can be achieved. This image is more contemporary, a departure from the traditional Victorian-style lace. It measures approx. 13" by 23" and is lightly starched.

Other suggested uses for my lace doilies and mats:
☞ under plates and wine glasses
☞ under vases and flower pots
☞ stitch onto a plain pillow
☞ basket liner
☞ wall hanging or window hanging
☞ under lamps and knick-knacks
☞ on bathroom countertop under glass bottles
☞ let edge hang over a shelf for a decorative effect
☞ plate cover
☞ picture matting
☞ shelf cover
