A stunning piece that captures the popular technique of steel wool spinning, *AkimaDoll has managed to make Spinning 3 unique through just one different variable: the location. Not only is the spinning reflected, but it also has a defined shape as if contained by a special force within.

Description

Steel wool spinning.

EDIT 6.13.12

Holy crap, a DD? Knock me over with a feather! I am very honored.

I've gotten a lot of "how do you do that"s, and I can't reply in depth to each and every one of you, but I can give you a link to the great tutorial that I learned it from - www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJkBLM…

I recommend using plain rope rather than wire (cheaper, and easier to adjust the length), and you will need work gloves either way because the friction from spinning the rope will cause nasty blisters (seriously, it's about a month since I did this shoot, and you can still see the remnants of the ones I got).

Good luck, and be careful - don't go blaming me if you accidentally set something/yourself on fire!
