REQUEST: Would people connected with the fabric/weaving arts, bead and ethnic adornment groups please let them know that: It is with the deepest sadness that I... let you know that our darling, brilliant, irrepressible, irreplaceable, Carolyn L E Benesh passed away yesterday, September 30. The world has lost a fine, fine person. Robert and Patrick ... words fail me. Carolyn and her husband Robert K Liu together created Ornament Magazine, a treasure of information, beauty and research, insight. Their son Patrick B Liu joined them in this family work of love. They are admirable, good humans and their combined contributions to all the arts with which humans have adorned themselves from earliest times, across the world and up to today are without peer. Condolences can be sent to Robert and Patrick via Ornament. Ornament Magazine, Inc. P.O.
