2007 I.O.L.I. Lace Contest: In honor of the convention theme "2007 Lace Heaven" the 2007 contest theme will be: "Lace in Caelo" ("Lace In The Sky" - Caelo is Latin for: The Sky) As you look to the sky - what do you see? Birds? Butterflies? Leaves falling? Clouds? Stars? Behold all that has been created as you vision your contest lace piece for 2007. Contest Rules: The maximum size is 12" x 12" for a two dimensional or 12" x 12" x 12" for a three dimensional piece. (Final size of contest lace presentation includes the frame and/or setup props.) The lace may be mounted or framed, but no glass, plastic or plexiglass may be over the lace or it will be disqualified. The reasons for no glass: safety of the judges, ability to view the lace properly, photography, and minimize possible damage to the lace. Use thread and color appropriate to your design.
