There wasn't much to see outside today. The snowstorm was enough to make me not want to look. Besides, there was so much snow caked on the screen I could make anything out anyways. So, I kept my shades down.
My windows are covered with roman shades. The shades are made from a very heavy tan colored fabric That appears very plain on the surface. Once the light hits them the fabric starts to reveal flecks of darker material within the fabric. They almost appear as shadows from the window behind. Without light shining through the shades look uniform in appearance and the eye cannot penetrate through the material.
This reminded me loosely of the wire mesh scenic designers use. The artist can paint something on the surface of the material and it will look like any normal painting. However, once the mesh is lit, you are able to see what is behind.
