sphere


i was very excited to discover how to make a felted HOLLOW sphere from fishing line. It looks like a ball of fishing line but it is hollow. This has potential for the body of a creature of the deep looking so fragile and colourless. With really only a delicate framework. The idea is to attach things to it and put things inside it.

If you have seen the section of the deeps sea in Attenborough films of the BBC then you might think that I could make a colony of spiney creatures (echinoids) that live on the deepest ocean floor, in huge numbers where nothing else lives! I am now thinking about incorporating Hema beads that glow in the dark and glow in the dark sewing machine threads.... Next set of trials perhaps
