Two delightful artworks  stumbled upon yesterday:

Delightful works of art offering terrific views into the textiles of another space-time point.

1. LEATHER PUPPETS OF SOUTH INDIA

The extremely smart sari-blouse combinations seen in the leather puppets below could easily give the fashion designers of today a run for their money.
