Are you a lady who loves lace but sometimes feels it is just too delicate? Cursive designer Sarah Fox has taken your everyday lace and turned it into tough yet girly jewelry. Sarah’s design process starts at the fabric store where she searches for interesting lace patterns. Then the desired shape is carefully cutout. The lace is then dyed and put through a stiffening process.
