Yep, I'm here and unscathed. Dodged another one. Frances passed just east of us, and Ivan just west--lots of wind and rain but no damage. But this is getting old--we're not bothering with names any more, just calling them "last week's hurricane, this week's hurricane, next week's hurricane . . . ."

Thanks for the kind words on the cloak--but I haven't received my spin-off yet. I assume that's me wearing it--they asked for pictures, and didn't ask for the cloak to put on a model. I told them that I hoped they had some sort of photoshop version of botox . . . ;-) It weighs about five pounds--maybe a bit less. I made it between movies 2 and 3, before there were decent closeups to show that the original was shadow weave, so I designed my own pattern. Basically, it's an undulating twill, but I put a tabby shot between the twill shots to blur the pattern and keep the fabric lighter. I'm happy with it. Holly--I think I have some closeups of the fabric--if I do, I'll send them to you.

I might be heading into a project that could really blur the art/craft line--it's pretty exciting. A class that I'm in will be studying ideas for making museum displays for the visually impaired. The Ringling museum in central Florida is thinking of trying out an idea where they will reproduce artwork, life-size, in textiles. Basically a collage, using as many textures as possible. They will record a very detailed description for the guest to listen to while being able to determine exactly where the features are by touch. An interesting concept, no?
