    Braided fabric bowl

    January 8, 2010 - By 



    Funny story about this bowl…it started out life as a rug.
    What I mean is, I was trying to make a braided rug but somehow it started curling upward as I stitched the braids together. Instead of pulling it all out and starting over I punted and made a bowl. I really like the look of it. I may try to starch it so it has more stability or I’ll just choose what I store in it very wisely.

    I forgot to mention that a good share of the strips of fabric are from my dad’s old button down shirts. They were so worn that the only thing they were worth was rags…or a rug gone wrong. 🙂

    Baby, it’s cold outside…

    I needed to warm myself up so I created this Spring inspired altered book page.
    Now doesn’t that make you feel a little warmer already…

    The doily was snagged from a free box at a garage sale. I used my favorite UHU twist & glue on all the fabric pieces. I sprinkled some fine glitter over the page to cover any spots that the glue seeped through. Made it look like a meant to do that. Maybe I should have just kept quiet and you’d just go along thinking how brilliant I am. Just kidding!!
    I think I’ve been shut in too long. Cabin fever is setting in. Symptoms may include: laughing at yourself, by yourself and imagining everyone else thinks you are hysterically funny too.
