A two-page illustrated article by Aurelia Loveman showing step by step how a lace design was derived from an Arabic geometric hexagon pattern. Figures 1-5 move from the hexagon to polar-coordinate graph paper, then to selected lines that are softened into curves. Figures 6-8 turn the curves into a stylized flower, arrange it in a fan-shaped lace design, and show a needlepoint fan worked from it. The text is limited to figure captions and a note on earlier publication.

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.
