Laos

Sally had been away so brought us some 'eye candy' from Laos.She had bought some textiles while there,but noted they were not as fine as those she has in her Miao collection.However, there were some interesting edges.

This neck piece looks quite heavy ,but it is hollow.We speculated that the incised decoration was for the Chinese horoscopes ?

Her husband had been drawn to this woven piece which is long and thin and edged with cut silk cocoons.

Then the best treasure of all ........one of Sally's sketchbooks.These really give a flavour of her travels

with her own pen and wash sketches,notes and observations along with inclusions picked up along the way.
