around the world with ipuenktchen

here you can see a chinese silk tissue, worked on with a kind of calligraphy!! the real brillant colours aren't in this pic.. :-((



these kind of stools I've often seen and like them a lot! it would be a nice addition to our home.... *smile*





also there had been traditional clothing like these masks from hormuzegan and other places..





there are also ppl who are able to restore the ancient traditional mansions from qajar era with their beautiful coloured glass windows!!



nearby to mashhad there had been lots of turquoise deposits, but during the last time less & less.....





and here one of the felt stands (D: filz, IR: namad), the only one who has from this ancient traditional kinds like mine.. and I missed also the beautiful things for using in hair dressing.. like I found years before.. what a pity...



as usual the beautiful birds from esfahan had been there, too.



among these 10 - 15 or more ceramics stands I found my personal highlight, too!!! the chess created by mrs. mohebbi (c), one of the ancient members of the azerbaijan pottery lovers association!!! well done, bravo!!!!!!!! she had the idea to made one team with the soldiers of alexander and the other team with the soldiers of dariush, and the chess board was an ancient map of iran!!! so beautiful!!!!

today we reached the 6th national handicraft exhibition at the international fairground up on the hill outside of tabriz! I like a lot to go there, as it has always a special flair!!!!

we saw a lot of interesting things of all kind of iranian handicraft!!!!

first of all in the carpet hall we saw a stunning thing.. they made a series of more than one hundred photocarpets of persons of history.. as there had been among others our leader mr. khamenei, our president Mr. rohani, ataturk, lincoln, mossadegh, mao tsetung, the dalai lama.. and so on.. as well as sophia loren, liz taylor... oupssssssss...



this cute girl is just jumping out from our culture.. *smile*


falls ihr euch ueber die fotografische genauigkeit dieser teppichbilder wundert - die zeichnungen, nach denen sie geknuepft werden, werden computer-maessig nach fotos erstellt!!! das gleiche wird mit gemaelden gemacht, die ebenfalls gescannt und danach die zeichnung erstellt wird, mit einer anzahl unterschiedlicher farben, die in der praxis ueberhaupt nicht moeglich ist!! zb ermittelt der computer mehrere tausend farbtoene, die nachher auf zb 50 od 100 zusammengestrichen werden.. und trotzdem sieht das ergebnis noch so fotomaessig aus!!!!!!!

ihr muesst das nicht gutfinden. mir gefallen sie auch nicht!! ich erzaehle es euch als info...

carpet wool has been only demonstrated, but instruments for carpetmakers had been offered, too!





ey gosh, and there had been such a beautiful ancient carpet, sorry, the colours in the pic aren't the same as in reality!! a price written on of 3 millions, but not for sale.. even there had been customers offered 7 millions, but they didn't sold it!!!!!!



nach diesem wunderschoenen antiken und unverkaeuflichen stueck weiss man ja gar nicht, was man euch nun noch zeigen soll.. hier mal die *normal schoenen teppiche*..

some of the *normally beautiful carpets and their details....





an den preis dieses teppiches unten erinnere ich mich auch: 55 mill toman.. puuuuhhh... und dabei sind die muster heutzutage schon sehr vereinfacht worden!!!
