In Death, Everyone is a Pretty Boy

The Athens Archaeology Museum has hundreds of these statues, called "kore." They are memoria for the dead. And they all have the same figure and face. Creepy.

 

Mugged

Another gift from my consular team at my farewell lunch. This I will use often.

 

Gift from IRM

I received a gift at Andreas' going away party. It's a copy of the mother figure found at an archaeological site in Kosovo. The thing is famous locally and has become a kind of icon of the area. I'm not used to receiving gifts from Andreas' section. It will always remind me of them.

 

A Restart

I had to restart this because it wasn't going to fit on the fabric. Now it will. I've already done this pattern several times and should have known better.

 

Creepy Flower

A quick little finish! This is what happens when I bring a limited amount of stuff along to do.

 

More Fanning

The fans were barely begun last time. They are coming along quite a bit more this time.

 

Gold Galore

Gold is quite resistant to the ravages of time. Maybe that's why there is so much of it found. I still can't believe the intricate detail on so much of this stuff. The Athens Archaeology Museum has displayed it well, too.
