Beautiful to see. Some remind me of the images recently discovered by remote aerial views in Mexico or Peru? I am fascinated with the medium that is being used and surviving all these years. Are the same media still in use? I love art. Tradd would call me an art nerd.:laff:Quote:

They really feel immediate and fresh, and not like an ancient art form.
I love art (and craft as well) though not particularly the "old Masters" type.

I enjoy when innovative art is both beautiful and surprises me. Neat to see these.

Interesting woman and work, Kay.
I think I saw her profiled on television. I'm happy she's keeping a precious tradition alive--she does meticulous work. Love the shallow rice baskets.
Makes my fingers hurt to think of all that fine work! How dedicated she is!

I visited Quebec City during their Winter Carnival enjoying its lovely ice and snow sculptures. The design, effort and maintenance required is amazing.
This ice and snow festival in China is incredible and beautiful, almost unbelievable.
