Is it a slug? The letter “j”? A prehistoric sea creature?

Dorothea Tanning’s Pincushion to Serve as Fetish has inspired me to create a soft sculpture project for our afterschool program.  All it took was some cool fabric, a stapler, polyester stuffing, and a hot glue gun.

I tested the project first and made an example before introducing it to the students. What does it look like to you?

The students were really excited about their fabric choices.

Inspiration for the project. See Pincushion to Serve as Fetish in the Center for Creative Connections.
