Thanks for all the kind words, guys, it really does mean a lot to me. And HUGE thanks for adding so many images from your collections... it's what has made these image galleries possible.

Today's new image gallery:

Tapa

Traditional cloth made by pounding bark into thin sheets, which are then painted with repeating patterns using brown dye.

When I was creating these image galleries, first I had to create a way to tag all the images, then I had to tag all of them, and only then could I build the ability to look at them... so there was a lot of time and effort invested before I could get a sense if the visual payoff would be worth it. The first image gallery I looked at was this one, Tapa... and I think I let out an audible gasp. It worked!
