I know we usually associate lace with weddings in the US, but I think the Noldor would be all over that textile artform.

Note: it's not easy, or very fast, to do this by hand.

I could see that, but being such a time-consuming skill, I had automatically associated it with the Noldor. It does work, however, for the more "delicate" or ethereal look of the Vanyar.I think Anastasia was thinking to use that more for the Vanyar than the Noldor.
The images I posted are of lace, or lace-making equipment. I think it can be done with silver or gold thread, as well (that being, to my understanding, thread -- usually silk -- that has been wrapped with gold or silver wire)is that lace? lace definitely is mentioned by jrrt so we should use it. and floral or star designs would fit quite well or maybe gem&crystsl or wave patterns for the noldor and falmari.
Does anybody have Anastasias previous designs? Everything she had posted seemingly is gone with the older version of the forum...
