Working on draping the top of my suit and tie dress - made from 2 pairs of suit pants & several neckties. I think everything is going to be okay.
One of two wedding cakes this week. This one went to the Surfair Resort right on the beach at Marcoola on the Sunshine Coast.
11 inch Chocolate Cherry Ripe Mudcake, a 9 inch Caramel Mars Bar Mudcake and a 7 inch White Chocolate. All layered and coated with chocolate ganache and covered in white fondant.
I used half Bakels and half Satin Ice and kneaded in lots of extra icing sugar. I am so impressed with this - it was wonderful to work with and hardly any air bubbles.

#2326 - 2014 Day 134:: Draped fabric. Not sure I've seen this one at home before - you know what happens to anything new around the house!
More smoke images from a set I shot last January and February.
Strobist Info: Canon 580 EX II about a foot from the smoke. Camera settings were approx. 1/200 sec at f/9. See setup shot.

The San Rafael Swell is a large geologic feature located in south-central Utah, USA about 30 miles (50 km) west of Green River, Utah. The San Rafael Swell, approximately 75 miles (121 km) by 40 miles (64 km), consists of a giant dome-shaped anticline of sandstone, shale, and limestone that was pushed up millions of years ago. Since that time, infrequent but powerful flash floods have eroded the sedimentary rocks into numerous valleys, canyons, gorges, mesas and buttes. The Swell is part of the Colorado Plateau physiographic region.
Interstate 70 divides the Swell into northern and southern sections, and provides the only paved road access to the region. The swell lies entirely within Emery County.
The northern Swell is drained by the San Rafael River, while the southern Swell is drained by a number of small creeks which eventually join the Dirty Devil River in Hanksville, Utah. The Dirty Devil River is a tributary of the Colorado River, while the San Rafael River joins the Green River before it also flows into the Colorado. Muddy Creek cuts into the western edge of the Swell, exits at Muddy Creek Gorge, and then flows into the Fremont River.
The San Rafael Swell was formed when deeply buried Precambrian rocks faulted, or broke, during the Laramide orogeny, about 60 million years ago. These "basement" rocks below the present-day Swell moved upwards relative to the surrounding areas and caused the overlying sedimentary rocks to fold into a dome-like shape called an anticline. The resulting structure is analogous to a series of blankets draped over a box.
Since that time, the relentless force of running water has eroded the geologic layers, resulting in older rocks becoming exposed in the middle of the Swell, and younger rocks exposed around the edges. Many of the most impressive landforms are composed of more resistant rocks, including the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone, Triassic Wingate Sandstone, and Permian Coconino Sandstone. The folding is much steeper on the eastern edge of the Swell than in the west, and this eastern edge is referred to as the San Rafael Reef.
Evidence of Native American cultures, including the Fremont, Paiute, and Ute, is common throughout the San Rafael Swell in the form of pictograph and petroglyph panels. From about 1776 to the mid-1850s the Old Spanish Trail trade route passed through (or just north of) the Swell. In the past 150 years, areas of the Swell have been used for the grazing of sheep and cattle, as well as for uranium mining. Although surrounded by the communities of Price, Green River, Hanksville, Ferron, Castle Dale, and Huntington, the Swell itself does not support permanent residents.
The area is managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, although the Swell as a whole does not currently enjoy special protection, parts of it are protected as wilderness study areas. Cattle grazing is only allowed in parts of The Swell that are not designated as such. The San Rafael Swell is also dotted with squares of land managed by The Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration, as is much of the state of Utah.
The San Rafael Swell attracts hikers, backpackers, horseback riders, and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) enthusiasts. Many steep, narrow slot canyons popular with technical canyoneers are found in the San Rafael Reef. The use of ATVs in the Swell is controversial, as environmentalists draw attention to the fact that off-road vehicles damage the fragile desert cryptobiotic soils.
Goblin Valley State Park is on the southeastern edge of the San Rafael Swell.

Yep: Mies designed the hardware on these drapes to ensure that they fell just right.

Long flowing white drape, used to cover photographs along the back wall of the reception hall at Fasig-Tipton.
I'm sure I've shown you these before. Super rare black zomba barkcloth drapes from the 30s. From my grandma's house and from the room I always slept in. I've spent so many hours staring at these. I adore them. They are my usual dining room drapery but I just switched to a recently acquired leaf barkcloth for the moth of November. You really get used to the drama of black in a room!
I rode my bicycle thru the Colonial Cemetery one day and was asked by a lady "when do they take the moss off the trees?" They don't, I replied. She went on to ask, "But doesn't it kill the trees?" I had to kinda chuckle under my breath as I told her that these trees had been draped with moss for over a hundred years. She still couldn't understand and walked off shaking her head in confusion.
The moss, a true Savannah signature, is one of the most beautiful things about our city. It will remain in the memory of countless thousands of tourist until thier passing. And what a beautiful memory it is to have.
