Today's post is inspired by my sister Melanie. Right around the time of our move we were talking (really "facebooking" between France and the U.S.) about how amazing it was that all the mounds of fabric that had been squashed into every nook and cranny at the old place seemed have expanded and become the size of the bigger new place. Melanie coined this "liquid fabric". Kind of like the property of water: Water conforms to the shape and size of its container. Well, this is how the fabric situation is. Somehow the same fabric that fit in the shoe-box size containers now fits in a 90 sq. ft. studio with the help of some borrowed shelves in the closet of the "man-room". This is a new physics law discovered by my sister Melanie Gloerfelt. Melanie, dah-lingg, you are now bestowed with the Tissu Tessuto Award for brilliant discoveries in the laws of physics and fabric. Award shall be forthcoming.
I'd like to thank the Academy of Textile Physics, and of course, my cats who make me wonder if they aren't more liquid than solid, given their ability to also take the shape and size of their container, as well!

With an honorable mention to Roquequine and Sunny Gloerfelt for inspiration!
