Restored original textiles
Oh Gesbi, I can't imagine. Hope I get to see it someday.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, Donna!
ReplyDeleteImpossible, I know, but I'd love to sit and let my eyes and fingers touch everything. There's always a message that is missed when one just walks through a room – even if the room is a compilation. Loved the close-up of tapestry and bronze.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like to take close-ups because that is the nearest we can get to touching in these situations - through perceiving textures.
ReplyDeleteAdore all this (again)! Your photos give me the feeling that I'm almost touching those glorious textiles. Thank you so much darling Gésbi!
