When I started dyeing and painting fabric this is the sort of piece I envisioned creating; whole cloth where nothing has been sewn or added on. The 4x6 inch piece is adhered to a 5x7 inch painted Peltex that has the thickness of mat board.
It's been such a long time since I've seen rain that when it happened yesterday the novelty of it was an event. If it hadn't been for a guava tree that required re-staking after the monsoonal wind raced through the area on the tail of the rain I would never have seen the cloud formation that was to the north of us. The windows face south. Truly a break from the mundane sunshine endless hot days. Sweet! I blogged a little more about it on the photography blog.

The Peltex piece, when viewed at a distance, reminds me of the multitude of monoliths in the movie 2010 heralding a new beginning for Europa. Very cool and uplifting piece. Thank you!
Now the clouds are amazing. I can only imagine how phenomenal they looked in person. Wow.
Awesome new piece Gail. It has a mysterious, ethereal quality to it. And movement. Fantastic! Simple, and yet makes a statement.
The cloud photo is amazing. A still shot of the beauty and power of nature. I can imagine it must've been a monsoon rain storm. One much wanted, needed, and appreciated. Very cool photo!!!
What an amazing sky, Gail! It looks like something off "Close Encounters...."
Gail the clouds must have been an amazing site.
Your piece looks or has a feeling to me of a storm, very interesting.
