My favorite is the one inspired by Kandinsky and Miro. Very fun.

Did I tell you that Pat has been designing feminist clergy vestments?

And for comparison the other day we visited CM Almy, formerly in Old Greenwich, CT, and until December 8, 2023, in Armonk, NY.

Almy has sold the business to another company and closed its physical in-store presence. So Episcopal clergy now will have to shop online and admire themselves in virtual mirrors.

But we have been struggling with how to present Pat's designs. Currently they are photographed on hangers against a green screen.

But your Homages to Mrs. DeSilva would be perfect!! Would you - or Mrs. DeSilva - object?

These are great. I LOVE the third and fourth in the line-up. You have captured the lightness and playfulness of Paul Klee! Magnificent.

I hope you feed Mrs DeSilva some pomegranates and let her go.

Actually it was *Claire* who played Persephone. And may Mrs. DeSilva rest in peace.

All so beautiful and colorful! Love the mix of media and your reflections. I also enjoyed the lovely visual homages to Ms. DeSilva and your remembrances of her. You played Hades? That must have been fun and dramatic!

If you are offering - I would love your beautiful rendering of the cathedral floor tile, it's beautiful! :-)
