The winder


It's hard to put down the needles when the fever is upon me. However, here's a new tool in my fiber kit, a yarn winder that makes balls from skeins. The cone and disk swing around at weird, changing angles to the base, the support cone-shape isn't symmetrical, and I didn't take the time to do much accuracy in perspective.

The paper is the supersoft laid stuff in a journal--kind of like drawing on toilet paper. I scanned it so the feathery edge of the paper shows--another fiber element to the exercise. (End of excuses.)

Brush pen and w/c pencil.

I love the portrait of the winder, perspective and all! they are goofy little devices and I wish I had one of my own to render so lovingly in pen and ink!
