WIP ~ Day Five ~ Fiber Piece!!

Well, I am back into the saddle again!  I began working on the fiber piece and I am so glad I take pics along the way!  Here is the recent overall pic.



And I notice right away that I need some breathing room in between  the top two layers.  Now I get to work on adding places for the eye to rest as well.  Here are some close ups!!









My intention is to weave that diagonal piece through the layers.  These layers protrude about 3 to 4 inches.  Very cool!!   I am using buckram as a form and it works perfectly.  A product named "Stiffy" is what I will use to attach the fabric to the tubes.  At least, that is my plan.  LOL!!  If that doesn't work (and it should) I will stitch them on.  I sure hope the Stiffy works.  That would be a lot of stitching.

I hoping to finish this piece this weekend so I can call Bob and set up a time to show them the prototype piece.

Hope you are enjoying the process.  I sure am learning  from "seeing" the piece like this.  It helps me with overall design and color!

Have a magical and blessed day!!

Hugging you
SueAnn

looking good,SueAnn!

Question for you: have you ever tried Aves Apoxie sculpt? I heard about it on another blog & saw on the company website that some doll people use it. I'm thinking about trying it out for assemblages & thought I'd see if you had any suggestions

I've missed out on the beginning of this piece. Tubes? Is it going to be three dimensional?

I may just have to commission a piece from you SueAnne... not that I can afford you or anything.

You amaze me.
