So far my shrine has no animals or birds which were an\u00a0integral part of the original shrines. So I’m making a goat.<\/p>\n

I first got a book on making tassels. Tassels are part of the same art form that produced the flowers – Passementerie. So by knowing how to make tassels I can apply those skills to other shapes. Like goats.<\/p>\n

Looking at the goat I see it looks very much like the body is wrapped in fringe. Fringe is the basis of tassels. So I had some special sticks made that look like H shaped eggs and then I wrapped the stick in lovely gray silk and am sewing it into a fringe. I will have to build a mold for the goat body but I haven’t gotten that far yet.<\/p>\n

I’ll keep you posted. And if that works out alright then I will progress to birds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
