I have a friend whose beloved purple fabric bowl that she bought at a store years ago is falling apart, so I made her another one last night. It took a couple of hours.
Purple is her favorite color, and I just happen to have a large stash of purple fabric.
That got me thinking about all the bowls I've made, gifted and sold over the years. They're mostly fun to make, and definitely mindless so there's no stress except when you start to raise the sides. That's not so fun.
I joked that this giant yellow bowl was so bright that I had to put my sunglasses on to take its picture!
I've done a lot of different endings, but buttons are a favorite.

And given that I'm going to be sheltering inside in the AC for at least another week, I just might make a few more in between working on my wool Christmas tree quilt.
Here's one of my old blog posts about the bowls: bowls-of-bunners.html
Have a colorful day
Love the bowls, especially the big yellow one. Like a concave sun!
ReplyDeleteWe have extra high temps with a prediction of breaking 100F next week. VERY unusual is the humidity as high as 86%. My broken hand is still giving me problems. However I have managed repairs on KoKo 's Froggy. Painful, but necessary. Keep hydrated. Del
Sherrie, Your bowls are beautiful!! You are really motivated. Please send me some of that motivation!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great!!! And so nice of you to gift another one!!!
ReplyDeleteLove these bowls. Please contact me if you are up this way!
ReplyDeleteThat purple one is a beauty! I love making these bowls and need to make one for myself that is that oblong shape like for a baguette. I currently have a small circular one where I toss small bits and off-cuts and it's just not working for that anymore.
ReplyDeleteThere you are, my bowl guru! You've still got that "magic" touch! And thanks for sharing your methods way back when... I never would have learned how to do them if I hadn't seen your great tutorial!
