The other evening we went to a small Tibetan restaurant not far from our home, which you need to actually drive through a gas station to reach. Off the beaten path. Not only is the food delicious, but I enjoy the Tibetan decor. At night, the bright fabric lamps are lit up, which of course I think would make totally awesome beads...a graduated bicone with intricate surface decorations.
We had just watched a wonderful documentary the night before, "Unmistaken Child" about a young monk's search for the reincarnation of a venerable monk in the form of a young toddler. It is one of my favorite movies. (warning: no sex, violence or pratfall comedy) But there is gorgeous scenery, a sweet story of people's lives in the Himalayas and a peek into their world.
So with my traveling daughter's visit home, it put two family activities into a pretty cool package. Perhaps they weren't on the same night, but close enough to count in my book. And I guess I can dream of someday heading to that area and seeing it and experiencing it for myself.
That sounds lovely Marcy! I'll have to check out that movie. Those lamps would make great beads - requires far greater stringer control than I have though!
