Sorry this is so late, but I think it also includes some of the requirements for Challenge 76, as well, since my Outer number is a 5, I've included a pentagon spiral. My Soul Number is a 7 and my primary color is purple. It was interesting reading about Soul Numbers and Outer Numbers, and amazing to me that my favorite number has always been 7 and my favortie color has always been purple. My next favorite color is blue, which is the primary color for 5. Anyway, I created this piece for Challenge 75, which was to indicate falling into a deep sleep. I made the spiral, which I learned to do from a class I took by Renae Merrill. I think the colors I used give the feeling of spiraling down into a deep sleep. I added the sheep entering from the side to indicate the start of sleep, where we're counting our sheep trying to "fall asleep". This piece is only 7" x 8" and took a few hours to draw out the design and paper piece each piece of the spiral. The purple cording I used is also spiraled, which reinforces of the idea of spiraling down into a deep sleep. Your comments are most welcome.

Pam I love the workmanship and the humor woth the sheep. It is amazing what you did in miniature.
Very nice pieced spiral. I like the way you were able to combine Challenges 75 and 76 into this piece, especially because of the busy holiday season.
Nice job! I like that the cording left a little gate for the sheep to come in. I really get the sense of falling in a spiral, as in falling asleep, but the numbers five and seven are also apparent, so good for you in combining challenges!

Fun!
I love the movement. Seems like that is my favorite thing - lots of movement. The sheep are great

Anyone who does such a good job of piecing a spiral log cabin-style block is an expert in my opinion!
Excellent workmanship, as well as an eye-catching design. I agree, in many ways this fits both challenges very well.
