A beautiful expo about wool in the largest sense of the word:
blankets, coats, pullovers, carpets, from all over the world.
Isn't wool one of the most useful and yet mysterious material?
The soft touch, the warmth, nothing can compare...
Next three are from a Swiss Artist, forgot his name, sorry, but his art is full of laughter.
Embroidery from an English artist
embroidery from Marie Thérèse Aubin
And friends from Le Rouvray
Petra Prins and Renée, busy little bees as always
And lovely Carol from QUILTMANIA
her crew and the crowd on the left.
It was an exhausting show: i had my survival kit: a waterbottle, hot tea cellphone and crossword puzzles for quiing up, more than half an hour to get inside, strollers, people schlepping schleppers, suitcases, enormous backpacks, you name it.
i bought a lunch for a fortune instead of taking my home made sandwich, silly me....
No seat available, and the lucky ones who had one sat in a sort of condition one could find in Eastern Europe resto's from the sixties , miserable.
And you pay 12 euro's entry fee.
I was three times at Houston festival, so big that it's far beyond European standards, but also such a friendly atmosphere, relaxed and nobody would push you or whatever.
I'll be back tomorrow at the very end to pick up a book and some fabric,but i have an invitation this time...
Enjoy weekend, greetings from Paris, Will V
