I thought I'd share a wonderful gift I received from my friend Viviane. She lives in Athens, Greece and paints fabric for a Swiss designer who then creates dresses and other items of clothing. Sometime around Christmas, I received a package with these nice blue Greek stamps on it and a beautiful blue tunic inside. I apologize to Viviane because my photos don't do it justice and after two cross-country moves and three after that, I no longer own an iron to press the creases out. The photos don't do the color justice either. But I did the best I could....
If you click on the stamps you can see them larger and see more details.

Wonderful graphics on those stamps and that tunic must be beautiful!
Great choices to share Raven.
I love the color blue.
Blue is romantic, and
means you're available.
I'd hate to go through
life not being available.
Great blue pics here Raven . the fabric does look such a lovely sea blue too !
Love the blue stamps..and I know it's not blue but the owl stamps is gorgeous.. what a lovely parcel you received! :)
It's fun coming to see what new blue everyone posts each day. I really like the stamps. Another great find for blue.
Oh, I like that fabric! I look forward to seeing your other blue posts...but first I have a high school graduation to attend. Thanks for visiting!
That fabric looks gorgeous, what a wonderful gift!
To answer one of your questions, yes I have read the Stephen Domaldson books but thanks for the thought :) As to why penguins feet don't freeze... I seem to remember it's something to do with them being able to control the blood flow to their feet. I haven't got time to go check right now but I'll check later nad podt the anser in my comments, probably tomorrow now. Thanks for your visit.
I visited all your Project Blue pages. Great stuff. You have a good eye. And a photo of it to prove it, too. :) I particularly enjoyed Take 2 and those shots of the spray bottle and the cat. You done good.
Thanks for stopping by my joint.
What beautiful fabric. Any chance of a shot of the whole tunic? Is it silk?
Beautiful shades of blue!
Dear Raven, Love your shades of blue, have looked round you blogs and they are all different, and I find that so nice. take you on a journey, thank you.
If those pics don't do the fabric justice, than it must be fabulous!
Peace
