I will show pictures of my room when it is decorated.. probably next month, the decorator is sought after.
Meanwhile I have a few other images to share. Enjoy.
As usual all the images can be enlarged by right clicking on them and they will open in a new window.
The following images are some random ones I took on a recent visit to the V&A museum.
We went to see the textiles from the Forbidden City but weren't allowed to take pictures of those. It was, however a very enjoyable exhibition.
The image above is part of a beautiful embroidered waistcoat I found in the textile gallery.
To give an idea of scale, those quilted squares are about 1cm across.
These were examples of straw lace. I hadn't ever seen this before.
Sorry about the reflections, I did my best!
This is a needlewoman's model, known as a Pandora. She would have made a
scale model of the dress she was proposing to make and took it to the customer for approval
I was really amused by this very effete looking guy. He was clearly
thinking 'oh not another fool with a camera, I suppose I had better pose!
I love this Chihouly glass hanging in the entrance foyer, right above the heads of the
receptionists! I hope it is secure!
Below are some close ups.
This is a female pheasant visiting my garden in February. She posed for me
on next door's shed roof!
