So last week I was pretty bored so I decided to take on a project that would fit nicely with -03-'s charcter at fest..... I made a giant ball of yarn.

That damn thing took me all week long, but god was it perty!
It's camo colors and black which is very nutral and earthy, perfect for fest!
Anyways the first day we went out there with it everyone loved it right away! -03- renforced it with some cording and made it really sturdy and now he uses it to "fish for patrons" however it is not only the patrons who absolutly love the ball.... other festies love it too, even the Lord Mayor stopped and played with it! It has become a major hit around those grounds in just one weekend!
I also made some smaller balls which we were going to use for poi, instead we ended up giving one to the King for his birthday and that resulted in him using it to amuse his "Son" the prince by throwing it and making the prince fetch it... of course after fetching it the prince had to hump the planter and the King and I had a discussion about our children and how screwed up they are (btw -03- is supposed to be my son). But yeah, -03- loves it and so does most of fest, I do sometimes have to remind patrons and kids that they shouldn't kick it or hit it too hard as I don't want it to pop or break, I don't mind if -03- breaks it cause it's his toy and he will just be out a ball of yarn but I know he will fix it or I will just be sad enough that I will have to make a new one (which I am actually doing this week ^_^) but if a patron breaks it I will cry!
I get plenty of luv from -03- for his new toy although I like to give him shit and say I don't get enough but he knows I'm only playing around, we both love the ball and I love seeing the smiles on peoples faces when they either play with it with -03- or when they just admire it... it makes me feel really proud that I did something that will people happy and possiably give them a much more amusing time at the festival! I love my yarn ball!
Now if only I could post a pic of it on here with this post.... unfortunitly S-O-L has the only pictures of it in action thus far but once I get them from him they will be here!
