This is still a WIP. It’s off the loom and now I’m dreaming up ways to finish and present this bulbous form. The gold elastic keeps it from laying flat. Ideas: Stretch it back out and attach it to a ring, stuff this cup like weaving into a 3d object, mount it to a stand and plinth. Stay tuned.

Here's the finished punch needling project. The mustard went thru a couple of versions. First a zig zagged ribbon, then a curvy line of plastic via glue gun, and then last- a soft irregular line of yellow acrylic paint that took two days to fully cure. Def the best choice tho’

Just documenting the process for the punch needling project. This is the working side of the project. The punch needle goes through this side for the majority of the time. The yarns on this side appear to be more flat and 2d, but the opposite side lends itself to a projects that need to appear more three dimensional. It’s great that this process offers you those options.

Another circular loom project in progress over here. It’s great to take some older tulle projects and repurpose the materials. There’s even a kitted hat in there that was taken apart and refashions into thick swaths of material. See, this is why you don’t throw anything away!

Here’s the hot dog project just before the end of the needling with the yarns still attached. I should think about project that lends itself to these noodle-like pieces. Maybe bowl of spaghetti next?

This is the marriage of two projects and evidence that artists go through a process.
