I've been working on the rain portion of the farmcloth/laprobe. I wasn't happy with the raindrops so I tried imagining the path that each drop follows...and that it must be very curvy due to wind currants and birds and airplanes getting in the way while gravity is always pulling pulling. Here's a close-up:
Lo and behold, here are some local cormorants. Before seeing them nesting at Sea Ranch, I was unaware of their social nature. I have only noticed them swimming individually in the past, but yesterday at the dog park a crowd of them swam by. Sometimes they would all dip underwater at the same time, vanishing completely and then all pop up again more or less together.
Great way to depict rain drops. At first I thought you might have used some rick rack. We have so many cool fibers to choose from now compared to the 70's.

ReplyDeleteI love these raindrops! This has the look of a mobile or a chandelier, as if each raindrop were dancing at the end of a silver thread ~ very striking image. I love what you are doing. You are very creative!! xo Kari
