Lace art can be emulated on the streets by having an artist reproduce it by painting the patterns on the street but this could mean that the art would be available to look at only on a temporary basis. If you are looking for a more permanent appearance of lace art on the streets, then it can be emulated on the walls of buildings with the use of stencils that have the design of the lace created on them.

One that combines delicate design with tough material to make something pretty but strong and durable.
