Colors of Tibet

I love this THANGKA from Tibet which features Green Tara, a Bodhisattva in traditional Tibetan colors of red, saffron, yellow, burgandy, pinks...
It inspired me to make some scarves from materials which my sister had brought back from India on her first visit there... Love the deep saffron orange hue of this sari material that has a gold embroidered edge -- also makes me think of ancient Rome...
