Hao jiu bu jian

It means "long time no see" - the reason for the lack of posts on this blog is on http://krakowpix.blogspot.com -- a combination of conference and holiday.

This belt, half finished, travelled with me but did not see light of day. But now it's done -- quilted, appliqued, and beaded, and even has something to hold it on, a "found" silver buckle. The intended ties didn't work at all.
What to wear it with, though? A trawl through the closet found a Hungarian man's shirt (bought in Budapest in 1991) and a skirt made from Indonesian silk, dating back to my "buy-buy-buy ethnic textiles" phase, 1995 or so. For indoor wear only, perhaps!
