5 inches
By knicy | March 24, 2009
This is my fiber creation. I called it 5 inches because it looks like 5 little (well actually big) inch worms climbing up a tree. Each “inch worm” is made from rolled fabric with glue in between all the layers. Some of them are wrapped with furry yarn to add a little more character. I installed them on a tree that appeared to have some of the same qualities as the fibers. The furry worms matched the organic stuff growing on the tree…while the fabric had a pattern that almost looked like a wood or bamboo.
Initially I was going to create sticks/twigs with the rolled fabric and then use the fluffy yarn to add blooms to it. Once the first piece was finished, I decided it probable would not be sturdy enough to stand. It was at this point I realized my creation looked like worms and I went with that. The words I think of are curved rolls. I had fun doing this project and everytime i pass the tree where my project is installed it makes me giggle.
