This piece was inspired by the idea of trying to use as many of the objects as possible in their natural form. The pipe cleaners and loofah seemed very sea-themed, and the round metal garden frame gave me the idea for a mobile. The finished product is meant to feel whimsical and fun, a reminder of the joy of childhood imagination. I was reminded through this challenge that anything can be made into something beautiful if you have the willingness to try new things, take risks, and think outside the box.
