Tangled

I spent probably three hours yesterday untangling things: First yarn, then an extension cord, then Clara's hair (impossible), and finally (and most challenging, next to the hair) a 70s-ish dangle of colorful plastic circles and strings. (That's another story).

I feel a little humiliated, but also a sense of surrender. Some days are not about creation, but are just about untangling webs. Sigh. But I do love the tanglers.

    Three such projects all in one day ! You show great patience, but what a good idea to use your de-tangling skills once you've started. :)

    I read today in my new book, Anatomy of a Doll, that you can make doll's hair of these tangled materials..Yarn of course, but wrapped around nails or metal knitting needled to curl...wet the yarn and dry in the oven at a low temp in order to curl it.
