Lace

Lace is a delicate fabric made of yarn or thread in an open weblike pattern, made by machine or by hand.

Originally linen, silk, gold, or silver threads were used. Now lace is often made with cotton thread, although linen and silk threads are still available. Manufactured lace may be made of synthetic fiber. A few modern artists make lace with a fine copper or silver wire instead of thread. A totally different scale are the architectural lace fences by Dutch designers.

Etymology

The word lace is from Middle English, from Old French las, noose, string, from Vulgar Latin *laceum, from Latin laqueus, noose; probably akin to lacere, to entice or ensnare.

Types

There are many types of lace, classified by how they are made. These include:

  • Needle lace, such as Venetian Gros Point, is made using a needle and thread. This is the most flexible of the lace-making arts. While some types can be made more quickly than the finest of bobbin laces, others are very time-consuming. Some purists regard needle lace as the height of lace-making. The finest antique needle laces were made from a very fine thread that is not manufactured today.

    I Cry Real Tears

    by: Lace

    You ought to be ashamed of yourself
    The way you talk down to me
    Oh baby, didn't anybody ever teach you
    To act more respectfully
    I'm telling you that I'm only human too
    Don't you realize? Look at my face
    What do you see in my eyes
    When a part of me just dies?
    I cry real tears, I have real fears
    I've got a heart that's beating inside
    Sometimes it breaks and when it aches
    My eyes cry real tears
    You treat me like you think I'm made of stone
    Like when I'm cut, I don't bleed
    Oh baby, don't you know that I'm just flesh and bone?
    So what do you want from me?
    I'm telling you that I'm only human too
    Don't you realize? Look at my face
    What do you see in my eyes
    When a part of me just dies?
    I cry real tears, I have real fears
    I've got a heart that's beating inside
    Sometimes it breaks and when it aches
    My eyes cry real tears
    There's something called the golden rule
    Someday you'll wish you followed it more
    You've been a fool
    My love is truer than any love you will find
    But I'm worth so much more and so is my time
    I cry real tears, I have real fears
    I've got a heart that's beating inside
    Sometimes it breaks and when it aches
    My eyes cry real tears
    I cry real tears, I have real fears
    I've got a heart that's beating inside
    Sometimes it breaks and when it aches
    My eyes cry real tears
    Every little teardrop
    That falls from my eyes
    Falls for you, baby
