5/100 in my 100 Day Challenge "Silk Bowl"
This is a bowl made entirely from silk I painted for some of my scarves. I decided to see if I could mold the silk and get it to hold it's shape for a bowl. This bowl is approximately 10" or 11" across at the widest point.
I know I said mostly collages for my 100 Day Challenge; but this idea popped into my head the night before last and so I decided to try it out and I'm pleased with how it came out; though I struggled a little in my attempt to stiffen the fabric sufficiently to stand up to gentle use as a decorative bowl.
It is more of a decorative piece than a functional one. You wouldn't want to eat soup out of it. I don't think it could stand up to that much moisture; but I'm working on an idea that might work to solve that problem. We'll see. That'll be another project at another time.
