Bedouin mask

Here is something I had the pleasure of framing recently.
The customer came in about a year ago to get a written insurance estimate and this was one of the pieces.
Everything had gotten wet due to an improperly sealed container on a cargo ship.
This piece was sent to a conservator for cleaning and I finally got to frame it.

I know it's not a very good photo.
Here are a couple of closeups.

I am certainly glad that I don't have to wear one of these things!


Hmmm...looks like the closeups don't show it either. Oh, well...

Why Deb, you would be the Bell of the Ball at the Omni bar....

Nice respectful job. Cotton thread or silk to sew down?

 

[D_Derbonne]

Cotton.
I thought it would be fun to wear with a harem costume...just not on a daily basis.

 

[Baer Charlton]

Yeah... funner than a boned corset... [don't ask]

Burkas are popular now.... and cheap. Not as flashy though. But go nice with a pair of black satin mules.

 

[Emibub]

Very nice Deb. I like it!

 

[Framerguy]

I like it too, Deb.

(What's for supper?)

Framerguy

 

[Emibub]

Tom, you say supper......I say dinner......must be a regional thing. Either way, whatcha cookin' Deb?

 

[D_Derbonne]

Smoked 'possum that has been marinated in JBCJ.

Maybe I could stuff it with some soggy shredded wheat.

 

[Baer Charlton]

Oooooooo SPMIJBCJSWSSW that sounds like my favorite

 

[Val]

Yeah, with almonds! Mmmmm!! Hey Baer, guess who came in to the shop today??? And said tell you hi. (hint-hint....almonds!!!)

 

[Baer Charlton]

Told you so! Oh, wait . . . that was kind of rude. Sorry.

Let me try again.

Dear Val, I believe that I was correct and advising as such. Fun guy, eh?

I hope you told him to not be a stranger, since he only lives 3 hours away.... LOL

Sorry for hi-jacking your thread Deb.

We're done, sew you can have it backing....

Super job, Deb

 

[D_Derbonne]

Ha, Baer, you are so punny!
