tiled

Up close, the tiles are lovely, but there's nothing like the

full size effect of a large building covered in them..

these are on one building within the compound of Wat Arun,

the temple of Dawn, in Bangkok. I've been playing with them

on a morphing program. Also sending best wishes..

Have an interesting book from the British Museum, on the

migration of pattern & ornament along the old silk roads.

These designs may have come from elsewhere (like the broken

pieces of trade plates, elsewhere) but they seem,

to me, quintessentially Thai in their confident use.
