Of Suzanis, Lilacs, and ikat Skies

This suzani is from the mid 1800's. The silk feels like ribbon to touch. The colors have muted over time, Natural dyes. It is a beautiful work of art, undiminished,  even more beautiful I'd say.


                                                           Fog is always welcome here..


                                            Lilacs and Lilac Lemonade, peonies soon to open !
