Lights in, and cape stiffened with fabric stiffener!!!

3 layers of acrylic sealer will make it as stiff and plaster looking as the bear.

New WORK - Untitled !!!!

 This one is a smaller work - to "I lost my Tentacle"

Hoping to finish this one quicker, as it is on a 30cm metal ring!


Using the fish as the main character in this work.

Will update photos as I move along!


   
And it starts !!!!


Most of the Threads I will be using - around 15 different wool and macrame cord!!!






Already playing around with how to position elements in a cohesive and logical way.
I am sure I will 'Arrange and Rearrange' many times before I decide on the final composition :)

Stay tuned and feel free to comment peeps!!!

I hated the fish in the end, as it was too big for the size of the work.
I made a sea caterpillar/slug!!!

I need colour - too bland!!!






More colour, for pop effect!!!
 











Feeling completely overwhelmed now!!
2 weeks of non stop work.

Texted few friends, and they all said to make blue less long, as it was over powering the work on top so I took their advice, and got my scissors out!!!
