The Art Of Imitation!


First, I would like to thanks all the well wishers for my lovely birthday wishes! I was very touched on Instagram yesterday and appreciate the kindness I receive everyday from my readers and followers!
I especially want to thank Jeanne of I-Dream- Of blog for her wonderful 30 minute painting of my Instagram Birthday post! For those who didn't see it let me share!


Fabulous right? See more of Jeanne's amazing creations at I-Dream-Of !


Onto the art of deception! Don't you just love how in design things can be mimicked. We have faux bois, faux bamboo, trompe l'oeil and many more. These beauties below truly  blew my mind I think you may agree that they are deceptively stone yet they are really....

RUGS!!

Yes, these amazing woven masterpieces are from Mastour Gallieries.  I was searching their Oushaks and then decided to see the Modern collection. It is quite impressive.

  5. Oh Karolyn, wow, wow! I adore the painting she did of your beautiful grouping, it's really amazing. I had this friend who would every year water colour a Christmas setting in her home all the surroundings and she would print it up and send them out as her new Christmas card, it was like getting a gift one you could frame.

    I am so glad you visited me so then I could return to your beauty and take in all this charm :)

    Happy Birthday to you!
