Suzani's and Rugs
Been hanging suzani's lately, weather has been great for indoor activities!
March we have had 9" of rain!
If it doesn't stop soon, we'll be repainting, instead of gardening!
This one is silk on cotton and it's from Samarkand.
It's called melon sprouts
It sports the sun disks which date to pre-Islamic.
And has elements if the melon vines and sprouts.
This suzani is silk on cotton adras
And it has pommegranite tree motif with bird, butterfly,
And fish. The bright blue in suzani isn't showing in this light.
This on is Bukhara.
The rug is Qashgai
My favorite from Shiraz region
Natural madder and indigo with some chemical dyes
Amazing talent working with new colors this way.
This one is Shiraz
Motifs are birds
Dyes are natural

Heron in my tree and the afternoon sky.
A walk in the grassy lands...
The Heron may decide to nest in our tree ?
But they require a large nest!!
Beautiful sky..

Happy Valentines Day. Not bad having a holiday reminding us we have hearts.
Hoping everyone can grow up a bit more this year. Have heart.
Stop projecting themselves on others.
Living honest lives.
To lie is to remove others choices.
It's manipulative and lacks courage. Say your truth gently.
Stop rationalizing.
Noticing when people point their fingers to another, several do point back at them,
Remember.
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
Realize your rationalizations are your own weaknesses.
And your lies about others hurts you as well as them. Locking you in delusion.
Courage. Latin Cor. Meaning heart!
Best wishes for a healthy heart day and life.

:-( No mums for next year...kings Mums
Kings provides a very special service in our country. They're growers of these amazing chrysanthemums of outstanding cultivation and quality.
They have a problem with their stock this year, and can't get the plants out.
It's very sad and I would hope they could get help to cover this loss somehow because what they do is very important by way of contribution.
These are mums (Kiku) I grew last year. I've been growing them for 3 of 4 years. Completely new at it but learning.
So if anyone knows some person who is a philanthropist send them to Kings to support their cause.

Boeing Seahawks 747
Boeing is taking advantage of the Super Bowl to
Try to make area residents and others forget their misdeeds of springing a vote on the machinists far before the contract was up and while voters were unprepared and in fact out on Christmas break the second time.
It was very unjust and a 747 SEAHAWK won't
Help those involved to sleep better once their karma sets in.
Nor will it help anyone to be implicated in corporate treachery.
So you know this jet tries to cover bad blood spilt in WA where tax breaks to Boeing have been enormous.
Don't be fooled. Wag your finger at this giant SEAHAWK.
Go Hawks!!!
This is a close up of a beautiful tye dyed (shibori)
Kimono. It's all hand dyed and made on silk satin.
Another beautiful kimono.
Photos cannot do justice.
All silk lining as well.
