the global curtain

As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes. -- Mel Brooks


Made the same way as the snowflake curtains, the global curtains, too, are always in motion. But where the snowflakes flutter oh-so slowly, these turn and spin more forcefully. Like real life on real Earth.


Interesting that watching them is so entrancing -- the Earth is not so big, so frightening, so volatile for those few seconds.

Be safe, be still, wherever you are. xo

  7. Cindy, oh most definitely -- I've seen it around. Maybe not as curtains but map paper is sort of making the scene lately. I used an old atlas so both sides are maps.
