A bowl too far?

Hi...

My bowl. Its hard to know when its almost finished.

Im basing it on an ancient roman bowl similar to this one... (image via google images... thanks!)



I saw one years ao in a museum and the slight asymmetry of it has had me fascinated ever since.
But its not an easy shape to, well not reproduce but take after, in papier mache.  For instance the wide brim is easily doable but I didnt like it aesthetically so went for more of a suggestion than the whole.
The look. I wanted it to look like papier mache but also ceramic. I think though that I am going to take a different approach. Using the slightly off-centre design Im going to go with a contemporary finish.

Its almost in the end stages now, its been a real labour of love, when its had the final decoration I'll post it here.....

A few pictures...

Hi all!

Here are a few pictures I promised of my scatter cushions and the Surprise rug I made.

Enjoy!

A Surprise Project.

Hi all...

I finished the twin-set scatter cushions last week and was at a bit of a loose end.
I decided to go to the local market for ideas. I wandered past my favourite yarn stall and spied some really soft, multicoloured chunky yarn
Well normally I never work with chunky, I find it a bit.. well... BIG, but I couldn't resist buying some.

I sat looking at it for most of the evening, trying to decide what on earth I was going to do with it!

After sleeping on it I decided. By the next evening I had a small semi-circle hearth rug made!
It came out really nice. Once I've wash tested it (along with the scatter cushions) I'll pop some photos on here.

See you soon!
