The first time I saw the Milky Way, I mean really saw the Milky Way was at about 3am one July morning in a tiny town called Tooleybuc on the NSW border. This town is on the mighty Murray river and is in the middle of nowhere so the sky had no light polution from nearby cities. I looked up and what I saw took my breath away, it was like someone had shaken a million crystals and scattered them in the heavens. The sparkling vibrant colours were mesmerizing and the crescent shape was how this shawl got her name. You see the placement of the buds is totally random just like the stars above.

I hope you enjoy creating Milky Way Rising.
