raindrops and gumdrops





JoJo showed Carolyn and I a picture of an umbrella installation in Vegas.  Umbrellas make me happy, the colors, the shape, the way water just rolls right off them....mmmmmmm.  I like that people are being creative with umbrellas.  It's about time they were seen as something other than a functional accessory.

 Look at this umbrella tree (omygosh, i forgot about that show!!)
           


 if anyone is thinking about umbrella art.....you've found someone who'd appreciate it!

  1. Do you ever wonder
    What could happen under,
    Under an umbrella tree?
    Sunny days or thunder,
    Your friends are waiting under,
    Under the Umbrella Tree!
    So come on, everybody
    See you up at Holly's
    'Cause there's no better place to be!
    In your imagination,
    You'll find an invitation
    Under the Umbrella Tree!

  3. You should check out Christo & Jeanne-Claude's umbrella installation. It spanned two globes: Japan and America. One of my absolute favorites of their work. Not only was the work beautiful, but it also involved the communities and spoke to the differences/similarities not only in landscape, but also in culture. Here is a link: www.christojeanneclaude.net/um.shtml
