Since I took this picture, I bought some copper colored eucalyptus sprigs and replaced the rust colored ones... looks better to me. I love the black walnut branches... not real durable, but the shapes are so beautiful!
My next project was to create a covered bowl with a little experimental edge:
I really love how this came out! I call it "Carousel" because it reminds me of the carousels that used to come to town with the carnival in the summer, when I was a little girl. No animal rides on thiis one, but still... I will be using the zig-zag technique on more projects, I'm sure!
No other finished projects to show right now. I am currently trying to organize my mish-mash of embroidery floss, and bought cards to wind them around and another container to store them. And I am also dyeing some fabric to use in future bowls.
Coming up in a couple of weeks: A day trip with my friend Joyce to visit Prescott and some fabric stores... my stash of batik fabrics is getting low, and there is one store, Cloth Plus, that has a fabulous selection. Joyce and I make an annual trip south around this time of year to get a dose of warmth, shop and enjoy a day away from our projects... can't wait!

The seed pot is exceptional. I think it's the fabric and shape. The multi-colored pot is very colorful. It kind of reminds me of a clown with the scalloped collar and round ball nose. Call me crazy!!
What great coiled vessels. I love them both! The top one is very elegant with the eucalyptus branch and the bottom one is very colorful and playful in design.
