Razija uses fine cotton to make her lace masterpieces, with fine crochet hooks and round needles coming in to play.
With a giving heart, she also enjoys giving her pieces as gifts, such as beautiful handmade lace jewellery.
When asked how long a larger piece of lacework takes, Razija tells, “it can take 6 months,” what an impressive effort.
