I like the name I chose for this project. "Lace Futures." On one level the name spans time. The very old imagined new again. On another it is about the value of ideas and how we can invest in them. "Get rid of those pork bellies and buy me some more lace futures." I woke up one morning with the end of a dream in my mind. Circular patterns rising off a lace tablecloth. At first they seemed to be flying doilies but they were flying saucers.
