The Moth Market got underway at 12
o'clock sharp, with many treasures offered for sale or trade.
After a picnic lunch and the usual friendly
social gathering, our annual Show & Tell commenced. This year we
held it outside in celebration of the perfect weather. Here are
a few selections from the several dozen pieces we enjoyed
seeing.
Resident artist Tom Stocker added his own
brand of creative rug art.
Ed Berkhoff offered a Baluch prayer rug...
...and an unusual Baluch khorjin face
followed, presented by Mark Hopkins with an assist from Mitch
Rudnick.
A Melas rug from Anatolia was shown by Wayne
Barron...
...followed by Ralph Bradburd's Turkmen
piece, which apparently had Mark Hopkins squirming to remember
its name.
A blaze of colorful suzani embroideries from
Uzbekistan...
...was followed by Ron Newburgh's striking
Kurdish khorjin faces....
...and yet another Baluch rug.
Yon Bard shared
some very special Turkmen pieces...
...and as a
finale, Thomas Mond presented a new discovery from a monastery
in Tibet.
