I know, it's not a sculpture...

My second sculpture for the Newport Beach Art Exhibition is almost done! In fact it's so close that it seems like a waste to show you 98% of a sculpture today and make you wait a week to see it fully completed and looking only slightly different.

Instead, I decided to take a break from that to show you a sneak peak of what will hopefully be my next project.

This picture is the property of Gardiner Yarn Works.
This is what my project will hopefully look like when it's done if I do it right.

I remember instantly loving this beautiful, light and airy lace wrap when I saw it in a yarn store several years ago. I bought the pattern and yarn, and soon started to hate it, due to the sheer number of stitches, the complexity of the pattern, and how easy it was to accidentally break the delicate lace thread I was using. After having my butt kicked by this pattern (and putting it aside for a few years) I decided to give it another try. I probably shouldn't even be showing it to anyone before it's done. I may have to erase some memories if this wrap doesn't make it to completion. However, I think it's a good sign that I've already made it father than my first attempt. Here are the first fourteen rows:

I don't have any concrete plans for what to do with the wrap once it's done. I will probably keep it if I'm not sick of looking at it by then. Until next week, dream lots of light and floaty dreams and I will have a finished sculpture for you soon!
