I am charmed by the looseness of them, how much they look like rope carelessly dropped or coiled. I made a background yesterday, and I have a lot of green fabric ready to cut out little green snakes, but I wanted to get a better feel for them before I started that part.

Alice wanted to know if I was making fabric snakes or clay snakes. I might do this again with fimo snakes…. it has appeal, for sure.
