I didn't get any pictures done today. Just one of those days, you know? Tired and not feeling great and trying to get some of the mess cleaned up for the furniture delivery tomorrow.
So I'm pulling out a picture from this summer. It was taken at the Sun Yet-Zsu gardens in Vancouver's Chinatown.
It's a double-sided silk embroidery of peonies and a hundred butterflies done in the mid-1900s... artist unknown.
I was fascinated by the colour. And by the fact that the silk that the peonies and butterflies are embroidered on is so delicate you can barely see it. The whole thing is under glass, of course, and the colours are just beautiful.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll be up to catching something new!
