Guipure Netting...directions on Google Books.

If you remember, I found this lovely doily mentioned in my post a few days ago.

I haven't made anything like this before so I did some research. It appears to be guipure netting.

Here is a resource on Google Books that give detailed instructions on how to make lace like this from 1885.

There is an illustration for a project that has many similar features as my doily.

I am not sure that I am up to this but it looks like an interesting process. Has anyone seen this or tried it?

Enjoy, Debby
