Looking up at the tiled ceiling of the Faience Corridor of Glasgow City Chambers. Crwated in the 1880s, its ten feet wide and one hundred feet long, and every inch of its walls and domed ceilings are adorned with glazed decorative ceramic tiles.

I only attempted one rendering of #faience - beads from a broad collar described early on in #NefertitiLivedHere, in a report inexpertly typed by the director then on site, the year before #MaryChubb joined the expedition to Egypt. As I've said, embroidery has such strong textural and visual personality that something like a direct rendition of a broad collar as you see in the watercolour would be terribly congested, visually confusing, and probably rather dull. The spiral of embroidered beads is lighter, more playful - more fun!
