Speaking as the editor of the facebook page of the International Organization
of Lace, Inc., I can confirm that Facebook is being eclipsed by Instagram for
younger lacemakers. I joined Instagram at the first meeting of the Brooklyn
Lace Guild when I realized I would be totally out of the loop if I wasn’t on
it. Fortunately the other members were there to help me join and teach me how
to tag. A video of me making lace at the Bust Craftacular event at the
Brooklyn Expo Center which appeared on the Brooklynlaceguild Instagram account
has now been viewed 45,305 times.
I follow the lace artist Penny Nickels known as hagknight, and Manca Ahlin,
known as mantzalin, Also in the Lace, not Lace show are alexgoldberg
maggiehenselbrown, e.j.parkes
Members of the Brooklyn Lace Guild include kathco_, redhandledscissors,
erenanaomi , therapeuticlace.
Also, there are some of my own generation on Instagram. You know who you are,

When one posts on Instagram one posts a single photo. Frequently these photos
are very cleverly posed and arranged so that they tell an entire story in one
picture. With these well posed, and very compelling photos, it is possible to
convey messages to people regardless of what language they speak. “Visual
literacy” is a term that IOLI social media guru Julie Envoldson used to
describe this.
Anecdotally, when my daughter’s cat set up its social media presence, it did
not bother with facebook choosing only Instagram to detail its activities such
as eating, and sleeping.
