Inspired by :: clouds

4 images with cloud motifs

When you live in a country with little rain, there is a lot of cloud watching that happens. The BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) is my most visited website and it’s used to work out what I’m going to wear, whether or not I hang the washing outside and if I water the plants. You see I put an enormous amount of trust in the inexact science of weather predicting. Did you know my blog name is an homage to meteorology? True story. So it probably doesn’t surprise you to know that, without exaggeration, my father has kept a log of every inch of rain that has fallen in the 2 townships he has resided in over the last 40+ years. This may explain a little of my fascination.

I also love cloud motifs (and snowflakes and rain drops..) and I have recently been drawn back to them. They haven’t changed much since I added clouds to the sky of my childhood drawings. I really can’t go past their fluffy, irregular shapes.

Oh look, it’s cloudy outside – fingers crossed we’ll get some rain.

My cloudy finds are all via Etsy:

  1. ORGANIC Cloud Pillow – Goodnight pillow from Juniper Wilde store
  2. rubber stamps – CLOUDS from Citoyennes Illustrations
  3. cloud teaspoon rest – 4 1/2 inches from jd wolfe pottery
  4. Nothing But Rain, limited edition giclee print from Eloise Renouf

  1. This is such a nice little collection! I like that even though is rainy and cloudy, it’s Spring colors. Leave it up to Libby, to make opposites attract.

    1. Thanks Miss Roni J. I will take that as a compliment.

  2. Haha yes I think we first bonded over our obsession with the weather! I love your little cloud collection..just gorgeous..in fact i think i have to have one of those little cloud plates too.

    1. Yes we did bond over weather! Is it an Australian thing? I love those cloud plates and have been imagining every possible use for them.
