Waterfire Cowl

As if stepping into a living painting, light and shadow dance to create a magical canvas at the WaterFire art installation in Providence, Rhode Island. Imagine the city lights shimmering as flames dance mesmerically on the water’s surface, a breathtaking spectacle where fire and water gracefully flow and intertwine. Just like the gentle sway of the flames and the subtle movement of the river, your yarn will twist and turn on your needles, bringing to life a unique and graceful accessory. This design captures the dynamic beauty and inspiring awe of these elements, allowing you to create an elegant and beautiful accessory, a wearable reflection of this stunning artistry.
