We saw Norberto again this evening.
Some of you may recall when our friend Craig (aka zoomer on h2g2) was here visiting us last July we stumbled upon a little workshop still open around midnight as we were on our way home from having tapas … you can read the full story over here on the ~serigraph serendipity~ post. Anyhoo, Craig bought a lovely serigraph there for his daughter and had asked us to go back and take some photos of the workshop as it had been such a magical moment for him, but somehow it just didn’t happen – until tonight.
In fact, this was quite a serendipitous kind of day. For some reason nice and pleasant things just kept happening to both Nog and me all day long and then this evening we decided to go for a walk and a tapa (which turned into a whole meal! photos to follow) and then while wandering home I thought of Norberto as we were near his workshop and said to Nog that we should go and see if he was there. And he was!
He’s made a few changes to the workshop, including a very nice showcase window outside and a fabulous metal engraved Giraldillo that is also on the wall outside the shop. I told him it was a shame about the meterbox next to it (kind of spoiling the effect) and he said he had a metal plate that he was planning to put over it, but in the meantime he posed next to his creation using his head to cover up the meter thingy (see the pic above). 🙂
And so – finally – here are the photos we promised you, Craig. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge them …

What do you think?
It’s a detail of this photo I took in Barcelona at Casa Battló of a mosaic-tiled bench in the back patio. There are two of these benches there and they have glass ‘pools of water’ in front of them. Gorgeous.
Anyhow, I was getting a bit tired of seeing myself up there every day (though there is still a version of that pic on my ‘about azahar’ page) and so felt like a change. I love the colours and it’s got a very Spanish feel to it, but maybe it’s a bit boring?
