This vessel is hair cut from my head and saved over the years. Human hair has a wonderful quality, it remains lively forever. To make this shape I started with a small bundle and kept stitching and devloping witha strong cotton thread. It is a circular shape but not coiled as such. More cobbled together. i left a tuft free on the interior to give the form a breathing hole.Its titled Dark Vessel.
