Last day in Istanbul

Sue looking at 100 year old Sultan fabrics.....

A local textile artist (the guy on the left) buys up vintage Sultan gowns and recycles the fabric into interesting designs 

Some of his work.....

This one is being made from old Muslim male hat material stitched together......



The Basilica Cistern in Istanbul



The base of one odd column......



And another - this one on its side.....



Sue having a lesson on double knotting of Turkish rugs.......
