Twisted upon itself as a sculpture...
...or opened up into a cowl...

...there is very nearly every color of the rainbow here...
...depending on where you look!
Because I have one daughter who is particularly fond of handmade felt..
...this piece has now been appropriated for use as a cowl.

It can be twisted around to suit the color of her jacket...
...or to highlight a new section of the piece when she gets bored.
Good-bye sculpture!! :)
Now that you have a better idea of the scale of this project...
...you can imagine how large it was in the pre-felt stage.
I'm delighted that "My Life" has now found new purpose(!) as a cowl...
...instead of sitting around on a shelf, collecting dust. :)

This is fabulous Heather. Have pinned it to my pinterest board!!!
what a gorgeous blog, I love the cowl
Great to know that your work is so appreciated!
I really love how this turned out and a cowl is way better than a sculpture. You did good!
Wow, great results! I'm impressed! Amazing.
Makes a spectacular cowl! I'd rather things be worn than gather dust too. I am sure you daughter will love wearing it.. it is so very unique.

What a wonderful project to do this. Looks like a coloful dancing dragon. I can't see the way to make it. Must be patient and "technical". Such a pretty sculpture !
Yeah for wearable art! I too love it far better as a cowl.
Fabulous, Heather! And I love that your daughter is symboliccaly warmed by the layers of your life experience!

Denise--Like you, I'm a big fan of wearable art! :)
Fiona--WOW! I hadn't thought of it like that! Now that she's moving away for her first 'real', post-college job, that's even more important! XO-
