Dress #29 "Oh what a web we weave, but it is such a tassel at times!?"
2013 / #9 Wovens and tassels bin
-wire tomato cage, armature wire, threat, 1 safety pin, 1 plastic bag

-2 Brecksville Broadview Hts. HS graduation tassels (Jeff ’77, me ’79)

-burlap wired ribbon from a flower planter sent for Mike’s funeral
-red woven ribbon from a long ago Talbots gift bag
-late 1990’s hat with a mesh poof
-mid 1990’s hat with a feather that is the same plastic material as the other hat
-mesh bags collected by my son: 1 white onion, 2 red potatoes, 3 yellow, 1 maroon, 1 green limes, 1 green, 8 red
-2 black mesh bags from liquor bottles

The challenge of this dress was to support the weight of the tassels and in some case, deal with the length as well. An odd assortment of woven items proved to be a challenge. The tomato frame was a bit overwhelming but did produce a silhouette not yet used in this series.
