Gallery of Surplices
These are pictures of some of the albs that I've made in the past. (Sheer surplices and fabrics are at the very bottom)
Some are with lace available through me and some are with lace from the customer.
This is not an exhaustive list of all the laces available through me. Please see the Lace Options page under the "MORE..." heading up above.
You may also want to view the gallery of traditional tie albs and the square-neck albs to see garments with other laces.

Notation regarding Battenburg lace: I receive many, many requests for this gorgeous lace. However, it is extremely hard to find because women no longer occupy themselves with hand work in any of the needle arts. The best advice I can pass along to assist you is to:
(a) pray to St. Anthony to assist you in finding it,
(b) watch the internet for old albs/surplices with this lace; then it can be removed from the old one, and attached to a new garment,
(c) watch the internet for large rectangular Battenburg tablecloths, and then it can be cut to size and attached,
(d) *** before you purchase something, send me the link so I can look it over and make sure it will work,
(e) find someone who would be willing to serve Holy Mother Church by making it for you. Yes, it is time-consuming, but it can be done - even a priest did it for himself because he couldn't find the lace. Read his story here. A good source for information, instruction books, and supplies is Lacis.com. (on their site, go to "online shopping"; click on "Needlework Techniques" under the Books heading; scroll down to "Lace" and click on needle and Battenberg.)
