—I started with a long volant (‘long frill piece of fabric’) given by Saskia van Drimmelen (Amsterdam) as an invitation to Rumjana Rakovska (Sofia) for her improvisation in needlepoint lace. I grew further out of this treasure through the hands of Margreet Sweerts and Désirée Hammen, passing me on to each other, adding new layers, leaving me for a while and allowing me to ripen, finally becoming one of the unique pieces of Painted Series.
