A two-page article in the International Old Lacers Bulletin by Aurelia Loveman about the lace snowflake ground (fond de neige) found in Binche and Valenciennes laces. She recounts a workshop by Vera Cockuyt, her own identification of an antique Valenciennes snowflake at the Walters Art Museum, and its publication by the Needle and Bobbin Club. She explains that all snowflake grounds rest on a hexagonal grid and that dropping the weaver pair produces the variations. Illustrated with photographs of Valenciennes and Flemish lace details, a strip of snowflake-ground variations, and the hexagonal grid.
