Something Smaller
A pretty fabric, chosen especially for the dusky pink and cream flowers on black ................ cut into strips and started to work into a coiled fabric bowl. After working just a couple of inches I realised that there was too much cream and I really didn't like the effect but what to do? Discard and use a different fabric but then what to do with all the cut strips? Overdying the strips would fray the fabric a lot hmmmmm ............ carry on .....................

Your bowl looks wonderful with the yummy fresh fruit in it. Happy creating...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bowl! I have just posted a piece about making these coiled bowl on my blog, and it's lovely to see yours. I wouldn't have thought of after-dying. Great idea if you have iffy fabric to get rid of. You also used much thinner cord than I did, so must try that. Putting fruit in it showed off its uses beyond the decorative. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a more subtle patterning from overdyeing - although I must admit I'd have felt a bit anxious about dyeing something as structural as a bowl!
ReplyDeleteI do admire your perseverance in producing all these lovely finished pieces.
