This is where I store my art supplies. Above are the dyes and chemicals for dyeing fabrics. Below are general art supplies and some fabric in the right-hand drawers. I love having things more organized, and I need to get them organized even a bit better. ;)
Textile sellers, San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. A quiet moment of contemplation caught in the soft light of the afternoon.
The Coptic Museum was founded in 1908 and is the World's most extensive collection of Egyptian Christian art.
Housed in a purpose built gallery on two floors (with architectural embellishments such as ceilings and glass that are rewarding in themselves) the exhibits span the centuries, telling the story of Coptic Orthodox Christianity in Egypt, one of the oldest Christian communities in the World which today comprises approximately ten percent of the country's population.
The display begins with architectural sculpture from the late Roman period onwards through to frescoes from churches along with items in all media, including an especially fine collection of paintings and icons upstairs.
It is one of the most important museums in Cairo and an essential place to visit in order to gain an understanding of Egypt's Christian past.
Some urban exploration. This has always been one of my favourite types of photography. I hope you enjoy these photo's as much as I did taking & editing them. This abandoned building, once a textile factory will soon be demolished and new developments will take its place. I'm glad I got to explore and see these wonderful works of art before that happens :')
