WOYWW 182 - Still out to sea.
Happy Wednesday everyone! Time for some WOYWW, thanks to Julia at The Stamping Ground.Snap a picture of your own and join in the fun if you've the inclination : D.
The bit of purple fun foam is a very low tech means of marking the middle of a whorl at regularish intervals. I made it back in 1998 and it still works well, though it is a bit grimy. The file is to open the holes in the wooden wheels so they can be spindle whorls. I think the bobby pins were left by my daughter when she was foraging for supplies. Or the bobby pin fairy has been at work. The whorls will become top-whorl spindles once a bit of dowel is added.
The tiny drill I use (with a pin-vise? from the hobby store).
I'm not sure if it's from the residue of the sea-themed bead swap, but these four separately spun (on spindles) remind me of the sea, so I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with them. Trying to find the fiber I used for each one so I can figure out quantity and project size. Sometimes a serendipitous approach makes a lot of work lol.

I LOVE that tiny drill, I am going to have to look for one of those! Those fiber colors are sumptious, but I am drawn to sea colors! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
Fab foam thingy (don't think I can call it a gadget!) I love when something so simple works the best.
I have a hair grip elf - couldn't be a fairy as it hides the pins so I can't find them!!
Happy Wednesday,

What a clever way to get things evenly spaced on a circle... can see more uses for that! And the wools are absolutely lovely... can't wait to see what transpires with those. Happy WOYWW!

Ooh, intriguing and inspiring - I have no idea what you're making, but that's to do with my ignorance! I'll look back to see how it comes along. Have a good week, best wishes Deb # 135 xxx
