246. Yarn Painting Skull

Yarn Glued to Cardboard (8in x 11in). I was inspired by Keltie at 365 Masks to try out the technique of yarn painting!

UPDATE: Keltie just let me know that yarn painting is properly called Nearika and is practiced by the Huichol Indians of Mexico! See some examples HERE.

    How did you map this out? In your head, trial and error, lucky first try?

    Great stuff!

    That looks excellent. I like the way the teeth came out with this method -- nice effect.

    Plus I like anything made with haberdashery... :P

    Wow, thanks everyone!
    B13: I sketched out the skull and then just followed the shapes. So yes, basically a lucky first try!

    Serious props on this one, Noah! It's not difficult to tell that this one was pretty time consuming. I'm in awe.
