Bob's and Charmayne's blue line

 
This is our original line of laundry made from powder blue soar coat. Still our favorite.  All of the photos have links to larger ones except for one.
 
Not only was a suggestion made to us to make a showy display but the means to acheive it. David Gomberg gave us miles of narrow strips of baby blue Soar Coat. We have flown this line of laundry for many hours. It still looks great decades down the road. Here are close-ups of some this line. chain

 Dead Caterpillar The other caterpillar on our blue line is our design. It has many legs and elongated segments. We call him the Dead Caterpillar. It would fly upside down, legs up, until Bob put a head line on him. But too late:  the name stuck. Scott Skinner suggested X's over his eyes but I voted for a headline instead. He has eyes and antennae.
