A window blind is a type of window covering.There are many different kinds of window blinds which use a variety of control systems. A typical window blind is made up of several long horizontal or vertical slats of various types of hard material, including wood, plastic or metal which are held together by cords that run through the blind slats. Window blinds can be maneuvered with either a manual or remote control by rotating them from an open position, with slats spaced out, to a closed position where slats overlap and block out most of the light.

I found a couple of artistic treasures this summer while visiting Invermere and neighbouring Windermere (where I captured this). Lovely mini murals painted (graffitied?) atop weathered plywood covering unused/broken windows. Alas there was no clue as to the artist.

Memories
at the Valley House Gallery
a carpenter made square dowels and created a window blind out of them by joining them to vertical pieces of wood. He backed the wood screen with paper.
