Bowl
A little turquoise trinket pot created using this tutorial and some crochet know-how. I found the tutorial via Pinterest, which is my newest love/obsession. You can follow MadeStuff at pinterest.com/madestuff/ I don’t think we have trinkets in our house…detritus yes, but not trinkets. Nevertheless, I’m sure it’ll still look nice on the (yet to be [...]
As with the button flowers, these are a couple of items that Jolene (for whatever reason) decided not to put on the blog. Fortunately for you, dear reader, I’m often left alone with the creations, a camera, and access to the internet and so here are another couple of items Jolene’s put together in the [...]
Regular readers may well recall these bowls in their original form, you can see them here. As then they were blue, and they are finished with varnish. What is different is the depth of the ‘sub-coat’ I apply to these pieces, the method in which the paint was applied and finally the varnish used is [...]
This is the final set of mushroom inspired paper pottery bowls, the other sets can be seen here and here. All three sets were made using the same set of moulds, although despite this I think they are all quite different in terms of shape, of course the variation in colour also helps to accentuate [...]

I’ve been meaning to make these for an age and whilst the inspiration is very much borne of the spring time the design is based on an earlier bowl I made way back when, here. I don’t know about you, but as we prepare to plunge into the depths of winter (haven’t we already plunged?) [...]
This is the second set of bowls I’ve made along the mushroom lines, of course mushrooms don’t traditionally come in shades of blue, but then traditionally bowls don’t come in the form of mushrooms. I have been keen to experiment with colour and whilst I was initially sceptical about making these blue they are beginning [...]

This is the first finished set of paper pottery bowls that I mentioned earlier (below) when I was showing the ‘little red bowl’. The original inspiration for these bowls is obviously mushrooms, although the notion to create a set or two was borne of an earlier single bowl I made which is available in the [...]
It’s been quite some time since I did any paper pottery and it was something i was pleased to get back to a two or three weeks ago when I decided I needed a rest from the ‘plant pokes’ I’d been working on. The piece shown here is the first of nine pieces I’ve been working [...]
This bowl is actually more of a developmental piece and is the product of my initial moves to use handcrafted molds in forming the shape of the piece as well as the application of mix to both seal the mache and also to provide a different texture to the finished article. It’s plain and under-developed [...]
For one reason or another this bowl has taken me much longer to complete than I would have otherwise hoped, even trying to get the pictures for the blog was a bit hit and miss, it was either too gloomy outside or too bright and seemed to necessitate abandoning whatever I was doing to run [...]
