Hi Lee

We never got a photo up on the blog from Lee's visit, so here you are. This is in Agra. Lee and I were visiting a craft workshop where they make zari embroidery, a very intricate type of embroidery using very fine coils of metal. At least in the shop where the public would see it, it was all men doing the embroidery, though I have been told that the Moslem women do this craft also. Lee is with a great old gentleman, seated cross-legged embroidering on a big frame, like a quilt frame. The little boy is the grandson.
