Laos Essential Artistry Posting Page

Gradually Laos Essential Artistry is becoming known and as we send out orders we always appreciate hearing back from customers. Last week we received the following email from Terry.
Hi Peter and Baythong, Well, it just got here, thank you so much!! This is one of the most beautiful things I've encountered, silk, colors, and craftmanship. (The photos at the shop are representative, but I'm not sure they do it justice.) It will be fantastic to wear... In a second email Terry wrote: "2. I went through most of the web site last night, and I love it. The cultural references and descriptions are wonderful; so much I don't know (we won't discuss products at this second, but there are many at which I just went "wow"). 3. I'm not sure about any type of web-display photography, so many variables. The pictures were what made my choice, and it was certainly accurate, but it's hard to capture the glow and color shimmer..." Thank you Terry for your kind thoughts! What we're trying to do here at Laos Essential Artistry has been a challenge and how do you create an online gallery of textiles that provides a reasonable substitute for examining the textiles in person? Not easy, and something we plan to continually work on. Terry writes that "it's hard to capture the glow and color shimmer..." of the textiles. We have thought about that a lot and have experimented by putting up one video on a post in our blog that does show the shimmering qualities of a series of textiles from Phaeng Mai Gallery that otherwise might seem quite ordinary. I think in reading Terry's comments that we'll try posting more video of the textiles to capture a more realistic perspective. It's all a learning experience, in fact one of the reasons we created the website the way we did was so our customers could not only have the opportunity to see and purchase beautiful textiles from Laos, but also have the opportunity to learn more about the textiles, artisans and weavers and Laos as expressed by Terry when he wrote "The cultural references and descriptions are wonderful." Reading comments like Terry's makes us hopeful we're on the right path! by: Laos Essential Artistry
