Felt it?

I’ve recently been experimenting with the anatomy felts.

Having produced a spinal cord section, I wondered if that could be miniaturised such that it could be produced in a workshop. I appreciate a felting workshop to produce a miniature spinal cord section is a niche market but…why not.

The first thing is colour choice. With 6 ascending tracts and 7 descending tracts there is a lot of wool to sort out. I wanted to keep some sort of colour themes so went with purple for ascending and oranges for descending.

Just over an hour later and 1 have a section of a spinal cord safety encased in a deep frame from ikea and ready to find a home with a friendly neuroanatomist across the pond.

Now all I need to find is a bunch of neuro nerds who might want to join in the fun.
