Oriental pattern

as you know I'm back from Istanbul . My eyes are full of oriental pattern and inspiration

here they are :

detail in a mosque's wall ..I love this design

Detail of the ceiling in Topkapi, in Istanbul

In Istanbul , you can see these glass eyes everywhere ...they mean good luck, it would be fun to integrate them to our decoration

detail in topkapi ...this design is so beautiful

do you recognize this detail? Yes that is it : that is suzani

detail of an ottoman robe

I love their textiles

Tomorrow you will see more of my treasures : my suzani

Je vois que cela donne envie à certains de tes lecteurs de venir aussi en Turquie !! J'espère que le suzani pour lequel tu a craqué a trouvé une place de choix chez toi !

I think Istanbul is the most enchanting, inspiring place. The first time I visited, I cried when it was time to leave. I would live there happily...

Lovely images. They bring me back there.
