I’m about a month late posting this! Oops! I’ve been super busy the past couple of months, but I wanted to share this as it’s my last rope sculpture of 2025! My hands (and brain) needed a break from wrapping after finishing 4 projects back-to-back this year!
This piece is part of a collection of small halloween themed jars/lidded baskets. I doodled up 8 different designs and this was the first creation- Wildhart’s Monster!
I know I say this with every project, but I did learn a lot on this one!
This was my first character AND jar/lidded sculpture. I added a rim around the head and a lip on the lid of the jar to keep it in place, but if I were to do it again, I would make the lid have the rim instead, so it would be inserted into the jar. I think that would make the design neater and the lid fit better.
This was also the closest stitching I’ve done yet and it completely transformed the piece! I like that it looks like it’s crocheted! I’m going to start doing all of my sculptures that way from now on!
I started this project on August 5, 2025 and finished it on October 9, 2025. Though I will admit I procrastinated finishing this one for a while so it could’ve been finished sooner! The materials I used were clothesline, yarn and a tapestry needle.
The next project I’ll share on here will be the handwoven custom christmas stockings I made for my husband and I. 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Until next time!
