It was the first time that they had been taken from their place of residence (from the owner in Birmingham if I remember correctly)and I have to tell you that they are even MORE amazingly beautiful in person! They are HUGE and span floor to ceiling and the details ~ especially of the angels' wings, flowers and the knights' chainmail (which you see more of in other panels) is incredible. From a distance you really think that these panels are paintings until you get close-up and see the french-knots! All of the colours in the threads were also made from local plant dyes too apparently. I hope to see them again sometime in this lifetime ;)Raine @ Inner Voice Art™ Where Every Picture Tells a Story...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06599421905696266338noreply@blogger.com
