What Inspired You to Make This?

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. is my favorite author and one of the first things I discovered I had in common with my husband. I have been wanting to do a Vonnegut project for a while (in fact the early ideas of my 2019 Needlepoint Stained Glass project was Vonnegut-related before I went with the Great Blue Heron instead). This year the idea resurfaced looking at the surplus of filament poop in my workspace. I believe filament poop will be a good way to capture Vonnegut's curly hair.
