This afternoon we were witness to the unexpected but uplifting spectacle of a wayward whale doing backflips and belly flop splashes in the middle of the bay. (It is the time of year when whales are heading back south but generally their southward migration is further out to sea and out of sight.)
This reminded me that I have not yet posted an image of my 2008 Guild challenge quilt. The challenge theme was Coast and Country and this seemed an ideal opportunity to use some more of my water shibori fabric in Allagai Bay (a companion piece to Tudibaring). Click to enlarge:
My studio overlooks Allagai Bay, the combined waters of Copacabana and Macmasters Beach (see this view from above). The ever-changing patterns on the surface of the water created by light, waves, currents (and whales!) are a constant source of inspiration and delight.

Brenda!,
You have really captured the feeling and movement of the water I like it very much, – it so lovely to live overlooking the sea I used to, but now live way back inland I don’t see Whales but often have Bennets wallabies, Padymelons, Echidnas, Wedge tailed eagles and myriads of birds pass my windows.
