Distort Sculpture 178

Salvaging remnants from a 70's basement box find and wools from a fundraiser sale. Had thought I might give this a test for hot water washing machine felting but once complete the decision was made to leave it as is and do my testing on something else.

The inner core of this piece is a spool that is from a 1967 Toronto mill. One of those things someone (like me . . who may have tendencies leaning towards the hoarder) who hangs on to . . "perhaps too" many things as a potential for further use . . .
