To see examples search IG or Facebook for #unidentifiedmeaningfullobject. I have used dyed linen, embedded paper, roving, stitches with perle cotton, vintage thread and vintage buttons.
To make your own UMO, follow the steps below:
1. Choose a small smooth rock and write a word on it (keyword for you)
2. Write a poem about this word on paper big enough to cover the rock after kneading it (momigami)
3. Wrap the stone in the momigami paper with your poem written on it.
4. Wrap the stone with yarn or thread.
5. Wrap ball in wool roving, fiberfill or whatever you wish.
6. Wrap ball with fabric strips, lace, cording, ribbon etc
7. Stitches to secure
8. Embellish with whatever you wish, buttons, charms
Voila! It’s meaningful because you made it so!
