Lovely, lovely art you have been creating.

This one would be too small.<br /><br />Judy, the needle seems to be pointing me in this direction right now. Of course my mind is pointing me in many other directions at the same time.<br /><br />Robin,<br /><br />Oh do take the paper bowl workshop and then tell me all about it.

Always your quirky humor and lovely design sense combine to give me such pleasure! I agree totally about the pendants (and different leaf shapes) being not only more practical than a necklace of leaves, but way more fun to make. Your paper bowl is also wonderful, especially the tea bags making a "flower" at the bottom of the inside. I agree about varnish... I've seen it on paper bowls, and although I understand the reason for it, somehow it never seems to fit with the paper. We have the opportunity to take a paper bowl/basket workshop next month... because of seeing yours, I might just sign up for it! Thanks for letting me know you posted these pictures. It was a treat to come here and see them!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354055207141253864.post-19708389693738588812013-10-31T19:08:27.739-04:002013-10-31T19:08:27.739-04:00I am so glad that you are back to doing your beaut...I am so glad that you are back to doing your beautiful beaded projects.
