Linking the past and the future

Details of the lace braiding have not been readily available, and known only by a select few.   Publications, outside of textile trade literature and patent literature, related to the lace braiding machine are scarce.  In general, the lace braiding industry had many trade secrets where knowledge of pattern design, machinery, and operations was confined to an esoteric group of practitioners.
Picture
Originally lace was produced by hand as a highly skilled art form requiring years of experience due to its almost infinite design possibilities. Handmade lace can be traced to the fifteenth century in Italy, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands
Picture
Around the beginning of the 19th century lacemaking machines began to reproduce handmade lace increasingly accurately. "Why spend a lot of money buying expensive hand-made lace, when a few pennies would buy you something identical, or even better?"
Picture
In 2007 TEF Braids became the sole practitioner advancing the art of lacemaking  for structural composites and advanced apparel and practitioner of the Art of Patterning.

Picture
The Art of Patterning provided lessons of:  Unification, Integration, Tension and Balance in creation of Lightweight, Strong, Efficiently Functioning Structures.
Picture
UNIFICATION: Oneness
INTEGRATION : United into a Whole
TENSION: Stretched or Strained
BALANCE: A state of Equilibrium

Picture
Guided by these principles we've begun the creation of a system of exchange to market our wares which we call FreeWErld.

Picture
We envision FreeWErld as a marketplace built upon cooperation and consensus instead of competition.
Picture
A Cooperative Exchange where members build and benefit from a unified, integrated system that is driven to see the earth and it's inhabitants thrive.

Picture
We thought we'de be the first member of the exchange and gift TENSENGRAL to new members of FreeWErld so they could help develop the company then use it's income to construct and sustain the cooperative exchange.
Picture
Sustained through contributions which support the free exchange of goods and services, FreeWErld's hope is to facilitate ways for people find their value and place while providing for their security.
Picture
Our humble beginning
Picture
We envision FreeWErld as a global COOPERATIVE EXCHANGE  and COMMUNITY NEXUS where members can build and benefit from a unified, integrated system that is driven to see the earth and it's inhabitants thrive.

Picture
Sustained through CONTRIBUTIONS which support the free exchange of goods and services, FreeWErld will facilitate ways for people find their value and place while providing for their security.
Picture
TENSENGRAL & FreeWErld -- a gift to future generations.  We hope you will Be a PART .
