a box and "un-perfect 10"

In some shop I found these fun boxes :
bare wood and two sides perspex
but WHAT to showcase in it ?

And then I fitted one of my finger puppets
from earlier this year in it !
Hmmmm . . . . . a bit dull.

Then, something daughter said,
gave me this fun idea.

This Wednesday it was again zoom-time with the
UN - PERFECT 10 GRAMS group.
We had to keep in mind the following prompts
unity
wearable
3D, using a resist

Well, with only 10 grams it is not so easy
to make something wearable if you don't want to make jewelry !
But an old piece that I weighed gave me the right idea !
(though I had to use 2 x 10 because I have two hands !!!)






It was, like before, a fun meeting with the seven
ladies of the group that were able to attend
and to see and hear about the work they all made !

THANKS  LADIES !

un-perfect 10

On June 12 the little group of felters
that challenge each other to make something fun
out of 10 grams of wool met per "zoom"
to show the results of that time.
Petra, one of the members loves to make "zentangles"
and one of those was the inspiration for all of us.

I studied that particular drawing a long time
but couldn't get around the "construction" of it.

Well : inspiration doesn't mean you have to follow exactly . . . so
I chose "woven" as my theme.


Though it was said to be 2D, I thought it was fun to make it 3D !





With this one, I was very early
though I thought I was awfully late !
(hmmm, wrong date, because I scribbled something
on the note that had the right date, so the "1" disappeared   :-D !!!)
That meant time enough to give it another go
Again with "woven"
and, I wanted a more open structure.


A Celtic knot was just what I was looking for !
BUT in the end I didn't like that all of it
felted together . . .


So these two were what I had for the show and tell


But today
number three was born !
Another Celtic knot, though I used other colours.
(limited by the things in my stash !)


More to my liking !




The blue knot is as big as the first attempt I made
The red one is bigger but thinner.
