Horsehair Sculpture - Catching the Moon woven Wall Piece

From bazketmakr

This is the smallest wall piece from my series "Catching the Moon." This one is coiled of very black horsehair, which is reinforced with wax to make it durable and make it stand the test of time. The horsehair was bound with black artificial sinew. It is very challenging to work this small with black on black, very hard to see.

The face in the weaving is polymer clay and painted.

The weavings in the center of the "wheels" is made of white waxed nylon, this technique is called teneriffe. There are tiny czech glass beads for stars in the background.

The back of the weaving has a little hook, so it can be hung on the wall, or placed in a shadowbox. It can also just be propped on a stand.

This sculpture is #8 in the series of sculptures, and is marked on the back with the number on my tag and mark. Currently there are 23 in the series, they are being shown at Fine Art Shows across the nation.

approx. 4" x 3" x 3/4"
