Peppermint Swirl and Fish Tends to Lie.

Over the years, I, like so many others have found Duct Tape to be a very interesting medium. It's challenging and in a category all of its own. There's some amazing duct tape artists out there and I by no means am one. I dabble and enjoy the pliable soft texture. I know I can't make elaborate dresses or flawless sculptures, but I've become quite taken with the art of duct tape flowers.
I have made some crazy things over the years out of this tricky medium. Pants, purses, sandles, prom flowers, etc. I've failed at wallets, had seams fall apart and still could help but wonder how I could do it better. I've given up so many times, yet I keep picking up the roll.

This piece is made from a small vanity lightbulb. I suppose I should have a better reference shot, but it is much smaller than it appears. Enjoy.
