Still playing catchup after this weekend, and its unlikely to get much better as the week goes on since there is a yard sale to prepare for looming in the not too distant future that I signed up for in a fit of lunacy...
But I am still mincing away on beading the Sea Urchin Experiment...
and I like this solution as a way to attach the gathered piece to the backing. This is more in the spirit of the urchin's textures than a representation of it which is cool with me. I don't feel any particular need to accurately reproduce the urchin (as if it would be possible) its already perfect... but I am enjoying using it as an inspiration or jumping off point and seeing where it takes me.
This urchin piece is getting more and more interesting. The last photo makes me want to reach out and touch the manipulated fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the step-by-step updates.
