So, I have a vision for these babies.

These sticks are about 10 inches long and nothing special. I collected them from my yard and wrapped them in some of our colorful yarn.

Collaborative Art Project

Later this month, we have the honor of participating in a local elementary school’s 5th Grade Celebration. This will be the fourth year we’ve traveled out of here studio to create something special with the graduates.

Last year we did a collaborative ocean-themed printmaking project.

Collaborative Ocean Tapestry

This year, I want to do wrap sticks and weave them into a giant “tapestry.”

Here’s my test so far with just nine practice sticks.

I’m using a fine aluminum wire to bind them together in a figure-8.

So far, I’ve learned that I need to find straighter sticks!

Can you imagine what this will look like with 120 sticks?! (Mostly likely 3 “ladders” of 40 that we’ll weave together after they are all complete.)

I’m so excited!
