New Reliquary for St Fris of Bassoues
— Article written by Fred, 27/06/2017 —
Jacques Dubarry de la Salle (90 !)
He came to the workshop with the idea to search the drawers for some forgotten leather panel he could use as a covering for Saint Fris's new reliquary.
He came, He saw, He went (with a panel under the arm)
Jacques, here lecturing on marbles, one of his great passions, he is at the origin of the Marble Museum in Bagnères-de-bigorre which is soon to open doors
Ivory roof tiles comes from ancient piano touches, the woodwork form bits and pieces made and found in his workshop and a gilt leather panel from my drawer. All the work and intelligence by: Jacques !!
This reliquary reflects the spirit of the remote area I live in, small budget, great creativity, good will..... I love it.
Some pictures in situ at the Basilique St Fris will follow in a later posting.
As Always,
Fred
