I used one of the
hundreds of grouds
that we grew and
with a lot of sanding,
a little stain, and a
decorative rub on
I now have a yarn
bowl to hold my
yarn. Thank you
once again for the
inspiration I receive
from all of you!
Now I am inspired. Gorgeous work.

ReplyDeleteOMG!! I LOVE this! Especially the little detail in the bottom. BTW, I am very familiar with startitis and Yarn Harlot. Read Drunk, Divorced and Covered in Cat Hair when I first started crocheting. I can so totally relate.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful is that! You should be incredibly proud. It's a true work of art.
ReplyDeletethis is lovely!!! i've seen something similar at a crafts fair and was wondering how i could make one for sylvia without needing a kiln to fire up the clay... i see now there are many ways of making a yarn bowl.
