Imperial Lace

Imperial Lace comes in four colors - these three and then white.  I carried a piece of edge braid for four months in my pocket with my keys and the white lace remained pretty clean.  What little dirt there was, wiped off with a wet cloth!

One of the first items I made with the Imperial lace was a dog leash - the contrast with the white is amazing!

Here is a Mexican round braid using three different colors:

One of the very best uses of Imperial lace is around the edges of projects with a double loop braid.  the lace lies nice and wide and covers the edges very well.

Some detail:

(The cross on this check book cover was embossed with a very thin leather plug at the back.)

Here is a bit of fun close up of the tooling:   (The stamps used were two hand made tools - made by Jason R)

Imperial Lace Rocks!

I finished this handle for a modeling tool Jason R made for me a few years ago.

I know this blog is about leather and this lace is not leather, but wow!  this lace blows your mind away - it works like a dream, it lays itself down snug, it comes in a pure white (and three other colors), it is super strong and it is any day as good as kangaroo lace to braid with.

The knot is a six bight knot with a gaucho interweave.

The braiding I am keeping myself busy with mostly! This is all kangaroo lace and very nice to braid with.
