Thumbnails of Samarkand Suzanis. Embroideries from Uzbekustan.
Amazing designs used by women of Uzbekistan to create suzani.s, embroideries, used for dowry.
However when Russia took them over, they wouldn't allow women to sew these embroideries. Now they prefer computers which aren't nearly as stunning as these are.
Suzani's from Samarkand tradition and area of Uzbekisten..
They have these large sun and moon motifs.
Goethe
"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!"
But in truth, there is no you to accomplish, only life animating a sense of you, ( a separate you) a life that you take credit for or that you blame for your misconceptions of it. This is where judgments arise, and all kinds of things deluded. Causing delusion to take a seeming place of reality. Reality is non judgmental, unwavering, pure love and energy beyond compare. SS

Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful these tulips were $1.50!
This crushed velvet Suzani from Uzbekisten, all cotton btw is a prayer suzani.
Suzani means needle. Suzani's are ancient treasures for women's dowries made i
n many parts of the world, including Uzbekistan.
They used them to cover walls in their homes, primarily. But this one is for prayers.

Sitemeter? Anyone noticing evidence of upgrade?
Site meter is how I've kept track of all traffic on my blogs since their inception.
It's been a good site information site identifying who is on when, for how long and location etc.
lately again it's been iffy.
On and off.
Oh sure usually I get all my information, but what's up?
It's a great tool to monitor your blog.
Hoping they're not getting out of the biz as they're the best!

Sunset last night. Stage 1
After one of our particularly washed out somber days of
white skies, of the nimbostratus variety, the clouds decided to
make mischief, as they so often do, gathering to make a storm or have a powwow somewhere, and putting on a big show at sunset.. wow wow wow. Starts here, and will develop over a few days..
