The Exuberance Cape

 

 

Bright colours
Fierce delight
Let it loose
Chase shadows out of sight

 

 

 

 

This cape was a real pleasure to make

After months of anxiety about the Worry Bird Cape, and all the fussing and indecisiveness involved in the Balance Cape, I was down to the wire. Time was running out and I had one more caped figure to create. 

Somehow, I abandoned my incessant fretting and perfectionism and responded purely to the colour and form that I was working with.

Within three days, I had sewn and quilted "Exuberance".

As you can see below, the quilting created sculpted patterns on the lining of the cape.

A few twists of the copper wire created the feisty and exultant "coat hanger", and I was done!
