textile inspiration in rome

there were so many textures and textiles that inspired me in rome - here are a few..

a splendidly hatted horse outside the Pantheona rather spunky Amazon at the Colosseum
some truly amazing ruching on a papal frock in St Peter's

trompe l'oeil curtains in the vatican musem

 drapery fragments again in the vatican museum

and the most moving statue i have ever seen - st cecilia in trastevere
