This is fascinating and I shall return to it for inspection on many occasions. Your own work certainly qualifies you to belong to this unusual school of crafts-painters/artists! I particularly enjoyed looking at your applique work on the American cloth. However, the Liberty and Indian materials are their usual magic.

There were no women, alas, among the Nabi. Just too bad because their particular view would have been interesting!
Thanks for looking. I hope you recognized your gifts of the English cross stitch and the gold on white handblock from Lahore!
