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.)
Sorry left out the word kingfisher, was late and my computer and scanner were failing in the storm!
Glad to pick that up! I did think that that is what I was seeing ...
