    What a beautiful lustrous blue! Is that embroidery?

    A stunner of a piece, Linda, and if I were a woman, and particularly with your features, I would quite likely wear it too. For me, it is of course simply a work of art - and a very great one. You mention "cloth", but isn't much of the material kingfisher feathers??? (On cloth, I mean - but I raise this because what "jumps" at you is the sharp turquoise-like colour of what do look like feathers.)
