Birds

Some birds today. With inspiring colours and feather patterns. These I've seen in the British Museum, one of the most beautiful museums I know. Their collection is wonderful, and the Enlightenment Room is breathtaking. The Enlightenment was a period of endless encounters, and still a lot is being discovered of that era. The research department and the library are impressive.
The browns and blues of these birds remind me of some African textile designs. Recently I came across a website by the Smithsonian Institute where Mali's mud cloth technique is explained and where you can make your own. In a simple way but nice to do anyway.
