Final installation!

I knew i had to put tentacles onto the jellyfish but was apprehensive at first....

I was worried that when i hung the jellyfish at an angle it would be dificult to get the tentacles to hand at the same angles without an industral fan or something. Also, i really liked the simplicity of the wire and didn't want to ruin it by adding dribs and drabs of materials and things- problem solved, i simple made the tentacles out of the same thin wire, ensuring then that the sweet simplicity of the pieces would remain intact aswell as holding the angle at which they were hung. Very happy with the finished project!

Went abit over-board i think...

Breeding like rabbits!!

Tentacle madness!

Tried experimenting with some Das clay to make jellyfish models- unfortunately never got around to going down to the ceramics dept. to get a proper one done-but sure, plenty of time for that carry  on!

The Blue and White tentacle piece i made reminded me of a Dale Chihuly Glass sculpture piece i saw in Murano.. I looked into him and wow, i've always found glassblowing so interesting and cool and seeing it first hand is pretty crazy...but this guy-well, he's nuts!

Wire and Wool

Hand-knitting tentacles proved to be quite succesful!

So here's my fairylight idea. Luckily i chose the right time of year to come up with this idea because the fairlights were easy to find. It took alot of confusing re-wiring and re-tying all of the wire in order for there to be seperate strands(tentacles) out of the one lenght of lights. once they were secured i wrapped wool around it in order to get rid of the fairylight look. Pretty happy with how it's going, unfinished as of yuet becuae as you can imagine it's quite time consuming- however, it looks AWESOME in the dark!
