Mary, This is amazing! I totally thought it was a piece from a knitted shawl. The design and textures are amazing. Only a mermaid could discover such a piece of seaweed! I am off to start weaving some wire!
My name is Mary. My daughter has recently moved on to college leaving me footloose and fancy free. This affords me more time to pursue my own goals:)
I have always made things since I was a young girl, I loved needlepoint and embroidery in my youth. I tried my hand at many crafts over my life but I have always stuck with jewelry and beads.
When I discovered wire wrapping I knew I had found what I was looking for all my life!
I work in engineering designing mechanical parts, though currently I manage mechanical aspects of PC Boards specifically.
I dream of one day wire wrapping full time.
Are you serious??? This is seaweed? Is it dyed? This is sooooo pretty.
ReplyDeleteReal seaweed?? I thought this was silken fabric/thread!
ReplyDeleteWow. I thought you had taken up knitting!
ReplyDeleteI took the picture directly from wikipedia. They call it Claudea elegans tetrasporangia.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's dyed and it totally looks like knitting or silk! :))
