my sculptor friend Bronwyn Berman advised making a cardboard pattern to wire the starry gloves
with stainless steel tie wire
it worked!
the wires give the gloves enough support to hold the cloud of tulle & the rope lines for the pennants
time to make some more parchment stars
Magic Days!

It is going to be grand!
(((Nancy))) this week will be wild with the last of the pennants and talismans flying in!
(they’re alive …)
You’re a star, Mo !!! (I cherish my stars 😉 !)
(((Els))) can never have too many stars!
on a roll… starry hands reaching out and tulle does feel like it holds many dreams as a threshold
(((Susi))) so beautifully put, I am getting beyond words… namaste
Oh wow – everything is coming to life! How good do the gloves look filled out like that? they will be amazing…
(((Fiona))) what a magical weekend, the tulle is a dream to work with, it even has handy loops in the waistband to attach to the ropes and the gloves hold their shape just enough. I didn’t want to interfere with the lightness of the starry lace & fretwork , now it’s just working out how to fit them together beautifully.
Clever!
(((Dana))) have seen a lot of artists draw beautifully with wire over the years but this is the first time I’ve had a go, the trick is to let the wire do the work and not force it
Looking good…….and love the parchment stars…..oohh, how exciting!!!
(((Eliene))) making the stars is a form of meditation, have made more than 500 of them in the last year- 163 for the xmas cards & haven’t counted how many are in the gloves and palm inflorescence but there’s a lot!
and that little star is so beautiful Mo. I said thank you two times but my mails bounced back……..
(((Martine)))
the gloves give me more of a Miss Havisham vibe than the dress.
(((Dee))) I love how the gloves are hitching up the skirt of tulle getting ready to fly!
