Marine's Canopy Hoop Chair Throne

 A project from long ago, the very first broken headphone project I ever made. This was the first broken headphone hoop chair (used for small figurines or dolls); other broken headphone projects following in its wake. 
To the left of the panel above is the base structure of the hoop chair. Bottom half is made from what once was the headband part of the headphones. With some help from my sister, the hoop chair was completed using heavy weight wire, coiled in a swirly pattern for interest, and bent to be a canopy.

I finalized the chair with scraps of purple tulle, tied in the center, draped over, and secured with lighter purple ribbon.
Marine's throne room, or more specifically sleeping chambers. These photos were taken for fun, to show how the headphone hoop chair worked. 
I felt it worked better as a hanging chair/bed thingy, hung with silver elastic thread over a curtain rod. Now Marine can either rest or sit, cozy as ever in sleep, or as a princess training to rule.

This is one way of viewing parts of Marine's kingdom, and just in time too, now that the Life of Lewa story is moving along. 

 I also made a second panel just for close up shots of her royal ruling.

Single views of each photo below. Enjoy. ^-^

 
 

 Two of my favorites.

 Above and below are my main images. I love the mysterious enchantment of each piece. First one is when she's sleeping, then below she's relaxing and ruling.

 Just some close up shots of Marine resting.
