I love this piece of Alex's!  I was lucky enough to see the *second* version 
"in person" in Philadelphia, and learned the whole story!  Alex wove such a 
fantastic story that I came home and wrote an article entitled, "The Revenge of 
Venus", which was published in the IOLI Bulletin.  (Sorry, can't recall which 
issue!

Honestly, the piece is SO elaborate and huge that I can just imagine how 
devastated Alex was to have it lost (or stolen).  But that she worked it a 
second time is just mind-boggling!

Hi Alex,
I did not have a link to your piece.  If you have it on the web
somewhere, perhaps you could put a link up so everyone can sem the similarity.
Maybe you were channeling the designers from Greece.  BTW, it did not say
where the floor was found, only in Turkey, near the Syrian border.  The colors
were so brilliant it looked like new.

This photo of 
a newly
discovered mosaic reminded me of a beautiful piece of lace made by 
Alexander
Stillwell. 
 
Thank you Janice for posting about the mosaic.  It shows that a
set of 
cameos in a circle is an old theme and it has not lost its charm.
Blow the dust, let’s make lace

This photo of a newly discovered mosaic reminded me of a beautiful piece of
lace made by Alexander Stillwell.

Thank you Janice for posting about the mosaic.  It shows that a set of cameos
in a circle is an old theme and it has not lost its charm.

Blow the dust, let’s make lace
