I made this telephoto shot of a hanging basket of pitcher plants while I was walking the perimeter of the Aquatic Plants Room in the Conservatory of Flower Victorian Greenhouse in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. I had taken a special trip to the COF during the final days of the Butterflies and Blooms special exhibit due to close two days hence. The four photos in this series were all I made in the Aquatic Plants Room during my abbreviated stay on this cold and gloomy day. As with most photos I will take in 74th year, I shot this using my Canon Powershot SX50.
Detail of Burgundian Cope, 3rd quarter of the 15th Century. Part of the booty from the battle of Morat (1476). Formerly kept in the sacristy of St Nicolas in Fribourg it was transferred to the Museum of art and history (1879) and the castle of Gruyeres (1940). It bears the coat of arms of Artois and ancient Burgundy above three flints and steels (emblems of Philip of Good, father of Charles the Bold).
LACMA techs looking very 1930's while giving it their full strength to hoist the tapestry up the wall. They had been warned that it was heavy, but they were still surprised by the effort it took.

Married Textile Lab volunteers Kathy Murphy and Donald Ellison handle everything paper, account and ocmputer-oriented, leaving the conservator able to concentrate on the textiles! Together they have over 45 years of experience working in the Textile Lab. Here they are in one of the offices adjacent to the dry lab where Donald goes over the accounts every Tuesday. Don and Kathy are the 2004 recipients of the McNeil Volunteer Recognition Award.
From the museum's website: "The Textile Museum is housed in two historic buildings in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, DC. Visitors enter the Museum through the former home of the Museum's founding family which was designed by John Russell Pope in 1913. Since 1925, the Museum's galleries have been located in an adjacent building purchased by George Hewitt Myers for this purpose. Large gardens behind the buildings are open to the public during Museum hours."
We stayed at a yurt in Shenendoah Valley Virginia recently. The place had beautiful fabric on the chairs that I couldn't help but sketch my version of in my sketchbook. Here is a"before" and "after" scan of the drawings.

I don’t like it when you say that I’m scary, maybe even like a freaked out fairy.
There is more to me than you think, I walk through odds and ends and have limbs that bend.
My eyes are large and change colour but they can see through your dark thoughts.
You may think I have no feelings as I stare at you without twitching, but inside there is a girl as insecure as you.
My eyes drift from colours red, green and blue mastered by a puppet string from the back of my head, but this does not mean that I am dead.
My hair is stitched with a thread and needle but this does not make me evil
I maybe crafted out of plastic and glue but inside there is a heart that can be broken into two.
