readymade, remade, unmade

some old stuff. i have been too buzy to make things or take pictures.

the magic 8 ball for lissa. she wanted one that always says something positive. all i could fit was "YES". it is affirming more than positive. it has a nice weight and density, not like an apple but like a barely ripe nectarine. i got a lot done while driving the van to portland for content changes. that was just densifying, shaping, adding more wool- not too dangerous to do while driving, don't worry. i could have just felted the ball in the washing machine which would have been WAY easier and MUCH less time consuming but for whatever reason i feel like a purist- every part of every project should only be needle felted with a wool core. no foam or soap. when my hands shrivel up like dried squids maybe my mind will change. until then, i will get back to work. maybe more today or another day.
