In November, I was in Nepal for a free-lance design job- working on sweater designs with the knitting artisans who lived in Kathmandu. While I was visiting, I was able to go to a few Buddhist shrines within the city. This beautiful entranceway to a shrine at Swayambhu was filled with jewel tone colors- especially deep teals, turquoises, prussian blue, red, orange and golden yellow. I know that many beaded and knitted pieces will come from this inspiration.
