Thanks to the local library and a wonderful artist and author, Linda Johansen, I have a new love in life. I recently began making fabric bowls. I also want to make vases and boxes. I will be adding to and embellishing and doing all that is possible to make, my own bowls, with my signature art effects. The bowls in the photos are the beginning. I made two prior to these, but they are even more primitive.
The initial descriptions for these type of bowls, states that they are fun, fast and easy. I think that is partially true. I find them to be sometimes difficult and while some of the process is easy, in order to make a unique and impressive bowl, it is not fast.
Since I have most of the past experience from dollmaking to fall back upon, I can work to create and mold the bowls. I also want to incorporate beadwork, fabric origami and more to make them incredible.
I will be offering bowls for sale at the upcoming Art’s and Craft Show for Monarch Community Alternative School and will post the poster somewhere on this site….
Anyway, I have not yet finished these completely. Some need more…such as embellishments and I have to sew in between keeping those in the world around me, happy. These are the first….and will run from $20.00 up. They are all reversible and while not perfect….kind of pretty….and a bit more than pretty in some cases.
