*EDIT correct link updated!!
Hi everyone,
If you're like me and are sick of a lot of AI photos and reels showing up on your feed, Reel Museum is a free online archive of textiles and craft objects built throughout human history. (hope this isn't considered advertising as I want it to be a free historical resource for textiles and craft!)
I included a separate lace/Irish lace tab as it's just a particular area of interest to me so I shared with my lace groups and someone suggested I post here.
(I used open source information from the MET museum, Art Institute of Chicago and a number of European archives and museums to build this)
A few things you can do:
— browse and scroll through the collection
— click on a piece's link and it'll bring you to its original collection
— save pieces to your moodboard in the "curate" tab
— email a postcard of a piece to someone
It's really early stages so it's best loading on desktop!! and would love to hear feedback or suggestions if you have a poke around the site on desktop or mobile.
