Two things that are pure magic to me:

Dhaka Muslin - woven in SE Asia, so fine it was transparent, on equipment that would seem primitive to us, yet we can’t recreate it

The incredibly complex and beautiful designs experienced weavers can create with a simple back strap loom

The Narnia series by CS Lewis ALWAYS feels magical to me. When people take the time to lean into their passions, what a gift it is to all of us!

Fascinating! That photographer was so creative, but he used it to con grieving people out of their hard-earned cash. Still, it was undoubtedly a comfort to them and helped heal the hurt. Gray areas are so interesting, don't you think? I loved the Webb telescope photo and plan to listen to the podcast during my podcast hour today...since I'm caught up on Seamwork radio! ;)
