Textile Art 3D Session

For our last Textile Art session we were shown a number of pictures of unusually shaped buildings and told to replicate one of them into a 3D piece of art. 
This proved particularly difficult as the project we were working on involved sphere like objects and our first attempt to create a 3D sphere by intertwining wire and covering with fabric failed.
However after realising that we would need to create several circles first and then stitch them together things started to progress.
Here's how we did it: Firstly we bent wire into a circle and then both machine stitched and hand stitched fabric around the wire. After this and to save time we used paper and stuck the paper around the wire. When we had at least twelve circles we started to stitch the circles together forming one larger sphere.
