I did like very much to follow your advertures in Brittany, posting on a variety of subjects, all of them very interesting and well written. I could not resist commenting on the "vol des artichauts", that is such an interesting happening, wow, wished I could have been there, especially because I do like very much the sound of celtic music that is produced by these small breton companies of players, like the three that were in het artichaut competition.<br />Thanks for your comments on this post (and some former ones). The mosaic works of Mme Hurfane indeed might be inspired by the mediterrenean (her mother stayed in Algeria and made mosaics too). I have seen wonderful examples of maroccan mosaic works as they are used for example in decorating bathrooms (beautiful combinations of blue colors...).<br />I hope to go on for some time with my blog. Like to do it very much and feel happy if I happen to come along some site I did not know about, and sharing this with others who are interested in this specific world.<br />Wish you all the best, have a good weekend.<br />Henkhenk van eshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112057600333088287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449219498394377859.post-76343351632254421862009-08-29T00:22:57.717+02:002009-08-29T00:22:57.717+02:00Hi Henk !

And no end of fascinating subjects that you have been digging up from all over for us...<br /><br />It never ceases to amaze me how some of the people you have reported on produce these incredibly intricate works of art, often taking years or decades to complete them, yet perservering, driven by some sort of urge to create a monumental work which will outlive them ; seeking some measure of immortality ? Or just fulfilling a compulsion to create ? Fascinating in any case. This lady must have some Roman empire blood in her veins, the Romans did alot of mosaic works all over... while in Lebanon and Syria a couple of years ago saw some beautiful examples.<br /><br />It is always a great pleasure to come and visit your site, to see the fruits of your research and read your thoughtful essays on these varied and wonderful creations.<br />Very best wishes...Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449219498394377859.post-32738344732602326572009-08-25T23:07:54.180+02:002009-08-25T23:07:54.180+02:00Amazing detail.Amazing detail.ArtSparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875996639432864367noreply@blogger.com
