The Pirate Tree in different forms

I'm very lucky to have brilliantly creative friends. One of them has transformed The Pirate Tree into a kamishibai form, which is a form of Japanese street theater that became popular during the 1930s Depression and the post-war period.

Karst cave Vilenica, the prettiest I've seen (and I've seen a few). Millions of years old and with stunning stalagmite and stalactite formations. It's celebrating 390 years since it was first opened for tourists.

I used the same fabric to make a dress for one of their design/sewing competitions.
