Amongst the other great sifgts Brusseles , Belgium has , are the many Art Nouveau buildings , and of course them many Art Noveau textile works. Brusseles has many Buildings planned by Vivtor Horta... lately they have restorred and cleaned [ and found some Forgotten spaces] the BOZAR , Museum , which is a Jewel of well planned . Through my visits there i have come to like and respect the Art Nouveau Textiles , although i never felt any need to copy or craet any art or craft project that will look like it. I still am happy to see more works in this style. This time i was shown , by a private collector , some embroideries that really were lovely. The elegant Silk on silk embroidery of flowers , that seem like flowrs one saw , but they have this added color or line that makes you wonder if they aren`t a fantasy of the designer . Flower sort of streaming into [or out for that matter] from a fish body, or a bird`s wing. A woman profile almost growing out of a tree or bush , while her hair flows with flowers . Wonderful textiles. [Amd ps ,many were embroidered by males] mirjam
