This bowl was decorated with purple angel wings, an orchid-like dried flower. The flowers are naturally white; these flowers were dyed purple. The flowers were used whole. | |||||||||
These bowls were made with angel wings that were shredded. They make a wonderful fiber effect when they are shredded. | |||||||||
Bowls can be made in two colors: one on the inside, and one on the outside. This one had a skeleton leaf hidden in the bottom, but the bowl can be made with a plain interior if you wish. | |||||||||
This bowl used skeleton leaves on both the inside and the outside. The leaves used here were not dyed, but I do have them dyed in a variety of colors, including metallics. | |||||||||
Bowls can be sealed with a matte finish, or with a sparkle finish. | |||||||||
I can leave some of the paper not as blended as the rest, to give a two-toned effect. You can usually see some of the lettering from the original printing on the paper that has not been blended as much. A dragonfly paper punch can add fluttering interest to the surface of your bowl. (Other paper punches are available.) | |||||||||
Combine several of these ideas into one bowl ... or select one color for a more subtle effect. Your choice! | |||||||||
