Precious Metals Marbled Bowl, Hand Felted
NZ $64.00
This felted bowl is hand formed from New Zealand merino wool and embellished with hand dyed silk fibres with a colour gradation from lemon yellow through to gold.
The opening of the bowl follows the edge of the silk fibres giving an organic, undulating edge with a delicate white rim. A cutout, again following the edges of a gap in the silk fibres adds additional interest.
Use as a yarn bowl, a beautiful place to keep your collected treasures, a unique pot plant holder - or pop a glass of water with some flowers inside for summer colour.
PROCESS
Wool fibres are first laid out in 5 layers around a flat resist and the silk fibres are added over the top. The fibres are then wet down, felted together using soap and friction and hand manipulated into a three dimensional bowl.
If you are keen to see how it's done, check out my time-lapse video of a bowl being made in my shop profile - if you've never seen a bowl felted before, it may blow your mind so hold on to your hat ;-)
SPECIFICATIONS
Approx Diameter: 150mm (6")
Approx Height: 100mm (4")
Please note that these items are hand made and so slight variations in size and shape are to be expected.
These unique bowls have the look of a ceramic, but are pliable to the touch, making them a fascinating and tactile piece.
--FREE POSTAGE within New Zealand--
