Hi!
A broken washing machine has put most of my textile projects on the back-burner for a week or two so I decided to go back to another project i started some time ago.
Im currently working on a paper-machete Potpourri bowl in the rustic style popular at the moment. Slightly (and deliberately) off-centred and created without a 'mould' such as a balloon or another bowl, just using a card ring, its starting to come along nicely. At about 8 and 1/2 inches across by 4 and 1/2 inches high, its quite a decent size.
Ive just finished layering the paper and given it a good sanding. The hardest part is knowing when to sand and when not, I dont want to lose the 'roughness' too much as its the whole point of the piece. I've also added the first of about 20 (yes 20!) coats of paint ready for another light sanding. Ive already got in mind the decoration for it, but its a secret for now! Another month and it should be done (hopefully)...
In the meantime Im ploughing on with crocheted cushions... I got a thing for them..
See you soon!
😊
