Could it be finished?
Just a few final touches to make it strong when suspended.
There will be a surprise at the bottom. Will be seen later when installed.
Length 3m, diameter at top 1.5m.
Crocheted from yarn made from used plastic shopping bags. Kindly donated by women from around the world.
Yes, I think I think it's finished.
wish I could visit the exhibition -- this is a really important piece. Superb.

Your Vortex is sensational. I just wish I could see it in New York. The colours, the shape - brilliant. And yes, what a wonderful use of those bags. And I love your sea shore photos.

oooh,
Congratulations, Helle. I can't wait to see it in New York.
The only hurdle left is letting it go after all this time.
And remember - that came out of YOUR head, Lady, no one elses! : )

At last - a photo of how the vortex is supposed to be displayed! I've loved looking at all the close up pictures of the vortex in progress but before now didn't really have a clue about how the finished item would look.
