These tubes are made of buckrum (which is used to make hats) and filled with poly fill. They are hand sewn on so that they will be stable and secure.
This fabric will be stitched together and attached to the tube.
This will give you an idea of how colorful this will be! After I attach the fabric to the tubes, I will cover the fabric with a product called "Stiffy". Which is a fabric stiffener. This will allow me to shape it to the tubes. Then I will, above these tubes, start attaching the handmade paper that I have already shown you.
Have a magical and blessed day!
Hugging you

ReplyDeleteDo you see the end result in your mind before you start or does it comes together as you begin to put pieces together?
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredibly involved process... a labor of love to be sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the silk fleur de lis fabric! How rich!
I really don't know how you do it. I'd have quit after the fist fifteen minutes.

ReplyDeleteI haven't been commenting, but I have been watching the sculpture grow with great interest. When I first saw it, I fell in love with the rose patterned material (did I tell you I love things Victorian), and I can't wait to see what you eventually unveil.
ReplyDeleteSome really lovely fabric there. Looking forward to seeing the finished piece. Talented you!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I can't wait to see it all finished! Your artwork facinates me.
