Well. No. In fact, this little project is never far from my mind. For one thing, I have a rather large box of cranes taking up space in my house … so I trip over it sometimes. Then there was this telephone pole, with a convenient bit of wire wrapped around it at just the right height.
In the interest of not having quite so much backlog of materials (no studio space, dontchaknow, and it’s the one thing I miss about being in school), I’ve been working on strange projects designed to make certain things into objects which might be able to go have an independent life. For example, a cashmere nautilus. (Eh, I’ve been thinking about it ever since I saw the pattern in Knitty. Ok, not the cashmere part. I got the cashmere intending to make something practical, and because I was having an awful week and a dear friend took pity on me, but it just wasn’t enough for a scarf and it wasn’t quite bad enough to justify cashmere fingerless gloves. It’s been sitting around for quite some time now, and enough is enough.)
Also, it’s striped in very bright colors of a sort I am distressingly fond of but can’t actually bring myself to wear.
