Back from Down Under!

What a great summer...
Inspiration was gained through nature , architecture and different cultures ...starting with Bangkok where temples ,giant Buddahs , markets selling anything and everything were in abundance.I had to go to Jim Thompsons' house which, apart from the expensive silk ranges was, a fantastic example of Thai architecture and was also lucky to see an exhibition there ....the work in the photos is called
"Colors of Isan" by Imhathai Suwatthanasilp.Silk remmnants from Jim Thompsons' farm and factory were plaited and created into a flower carpet, showing how a new function can be reborn from the so-called old materials....a traditional patchwork concept...a patchaouri on another level !!!......Maro...will be back with more on OZ another time

 The Isan  plateau is found in north east Thailand where
silk worm rearing  is a tradition

the reclining buddah...
my favourite
position !
