    Look like lace - I love the detail that used to go into every day items.

    Wow, that's beautiful. We use something like that in front of our fireplace when it's not in use.

    The iron is leaving such an intricate shadow on the wall. I like how we don't see the art of the iron, yet the complexity of the shadow replicates the original design...

    Yeah well...I've had it for at least 18 months and it hasn't transformed itself into a gate yet. Might be a while...
