For Ailsa this week – Handmade.
This expression hides many interpretations and here are only two, and both from Madrid.
The colourful tent on exhibition, by Federico Guzmán, in the Crystal Palace in Parc Retiro, and a totally different one with an artist on the flea market, making etherial tones vibrate from glasses. Click here for more made by hand.

Beautiful… i love those curtains/scarves in the first photo!
Yes, me too. All handmade batik!
Retiring in 2 weeks? Your life is about to expand in so many directions, retirement is so much fun…
I’m so looking forward to those directions…!
Have lots of fun in the days ahead Leya
Hopefully I will!
oh ett sånt tält skulle jag vilja ha … om jag hade utrymmet till det 😀 jättefint …. att kunna göra musik med glas fyllda med vatten är något speciellt men som jag ser på din bild har han bara olika storlekar på glasen och får därigenom också olika tonarter … det måste ha varit en upplevelse att lyssna på det
Rätt. Mycket vacker musik. Jag undrade om han inte hade någon CD. Men det är naturligtvis bäst live.
Beautiful images, Ann Christine ! How are you, my friend ? – retirement looking more tempting by the day ? 😉
Right! Only two weeks left now…and FREEDOM! I have written the last verses to my own class – summing up our three years together and my impression of their different characters
A fortnight is all ? – wunderbar ! I shall raise a glass to you on Friday week. 🙂
Cheers!
…ooops, there it went away…Now, they get two verses each and they are to guess/say who I am writing about to get it. Fun. But I know them so well by now…
And how are you, my dear? I’ve been missing you all terribly, but there will be a change and I’ll be back to blogging again! Do I find you in the same place as before?
Happy that I’m not totally forgotten😐🍰
I doubt you could ever be: so many of your posts have been breathtakingly beautiful. 🙂
Well now…that was really sweet of you. Do you accept a hug?
Certainly !!!! 🙂
HUG – here it is!
Received with much pleasure, Ann Christine … 🙂 and returned, of course.
Thank you! I’ve had some this last week too, and especially today when the students were leaving. Many tears and much joy.
I don’t doubt it for a moment, for you have been a wonderful teacher, I know.
