My newest size of bowl, these are short and squat. the top is about 5" across, the base is 3 1/2" across, and they are about 1 1/2" high. These are both made the same, one with the print out, and the other with the print inside. The blue was salted and scrunched before I let the paint dry to make the patterns. These are stitched in gold metallic thread, and ivory yarn is couched on the top edges.
This picture shows all 3 sizes I make. The pink on the left, is a large bowl, sized to be about the size of a Corelle cereal bowl. Easy to find clear glass bowls to line if needed. The middle and back are all small with round edges. They are sized to accept a glass Pyrex custard cup, for use with messier things. The rose one on the right is another short bowl.
This picture shows the three styles I make of large bowls. Some with rounded, scalloped, or square edges.
The bowl on the left shows why I construct them the way I do- I wanted to mix things up when using some of my "striped" fabrics. this adds some more interest, as well as making construction easier for me.
Here are stacks of bowls, keeping sizes and shapes together. Makes the bunch look a lot smaller, though! Now to get back to stitching, I now have a lot of little triangles to use up…. that quilt lurking in my head seems to be finding it's way out. You'll have to wait until it becomes something to photograph, before you can see it, though, Keep In Touch.
I am a former textile artist and new pattern designer with a degree in horticulture, wishing to share my love of nature, flowers and gardens with everyone through my photos, sunprinted fabrics, and now pattern designs. Chronic Lyme Disease has caused major changes to the direction my life. I have to limit the amount of time spent digging in my gardens, and quilting has become more difficult. I discovered pattern design as a way to get art back into my life. I now use my gardens and photos to inspire designs that can be used on fabrics and print on demand items.
I've done some bowls too. I like the four and six sided versions better than the 8 sided versions that people make with the (expensive) template. I've also experimented with non-symetrical bowls. Some are on my blog.
Wow, have you been busy!! Great work, Sue…I love the bowls. Lovely color…but they will sell like hotcakes. Hooray!!Jacki
