All ready to go!

Bubbles are finished and ready for their full debut in the fountain for class tomorrow. I hope it goes well.

Bubbles + Beach Balls

Bubbles (2011)

Collage: Final Project (site-specific)
Dura-lar and water balloons
These will be floated in a fountain as "bubbles." These objects have a very ethereal quality to them. I love how they glow with soft color.

Lace Paper Beach Balls (2011)

Collage: bring in an object
Lace paper and dyed polyester pillow stuffing
I love the tactile element of these objects from the soft, textured lace paper and squishy pillow stuffing. My class had fun holding them and tossing them around. It would be so fun to have a room full of them to play with!
Thanks to the Purl Bee SoHo for the pattern.

They look like candy!
