A friend passed along a link to a story about restoring the original colors to tapestries that were made for King Henry VIII nearly 500 years ago. Here is another site where you can see something of the size of this tapestry. It boggles my mind to think of the work that went into making these amazing tapestries, and to think of them lasting so long. Do we make much these days that will last so long?
In an interesting bit of synchronicity, I recently finished reading a book called The Children of Henry VIII by Alison Weir, and my friend didn't know that. Funny how the world brings such things together. Thanks Cheryl!
