I’ve been fitting the peltex skins to the steel skeleton. Stitching and trimming as I go. I love the interior structure of this one, the angularity of the lines makes an interesting contrast with the smooth whiteness of the peltex. And then it disappears into a curved, blank form.

There’s a satisfaction in getting it to this stage but it’s short-lived. The next step is to take the panels off the form so that I can add fabrics to them. My husband was asking me if this part isn’t an extra step. I told him it’s like a second or third draft when you’re writing. You know it’s not the final, but it’s a necessary step toward getting there.
