A woolly tornado
Woolly cotton
So now it was time to add the cotton wool I thought would make good swirling “wind”. I sprayed my dishwater solution top to bottom on the bandage. (This lets gravity help a bit) I poured some out and added PVA to get a milky looking solution (Thank you TTT!!) started shaking. And shaking some more just to be sure. Applied this thickly. Before I got the cotton wool, I made sure my fingers where clean and dry.
Got about half the pack out, folded this open to roughly a 1.5cm thick strip of 5cm wide. (1/2inch thick and 2 inch wide). As it was compacted I knew it would be more than enough for what I had in mind.I started at the bottom and wrapped my way up, fixing it in place with garden wire( the one coated in plastic) And put is upside down to fix the edges. I let it dry over a few days.
Next step was removing the wire and filling any gaps with cotton wool. Water and PVA in a dropper this time as I didn’t want to wet the surrounding wool.This needed to dry to…..
