experimentation
This is a giant bead I made. It is prettier in real life as the hologram threads on it really sparkle but that is really hard to capture with the camera. I wrapped a drinking straw with felt and synthetic fibres and then melted them with a hot air gun. I added threads and beads. Most of my family gets that it is a cocoon. Some of them think it looks like the dog's breakfast. Unfortunately, this picture tends to make me agree with them on the dog's breakfast.
