Through My Eyes

With work in the Grove I haven't had a chance to work on the sculpture of Tara Drolma  except to keep the clay moist. I thought it might be worthwhile to look at some more Tibetan movies however. In this movie, "Tibetan Song Beautiful Dresses of Tibet", we can see Tibetans in full regalia!
We can see lots of coral, amber, and turqoise and perhaps even some zhi!  The Dalai Lama has requested Tibetans abandon the wearing of furs so Tibetans have ceased wearing them since this movie was taken. The metalwork looks remarkable! This movie was probably taken in the Chuzi gangdruk or Kham as we remember although it might have been in Amdo or even the Chang tang. There's a lot more to add but as usual two as one we'll add to the notes later beautiful one!
