May 2015

Due to the fact that I was under the weather most of last week, it was not one of my most productive weeks.  Last month I made a market bag out of these wonderful fabrics I had found while we were in Santa Fe last year.  Here is the blog entry about said market bag   http://www.newenglandfiberarts.com/node/228.  I had also made a very large bowl at the same time.  I had been thinking about a design for another bowl and the top photo is the one I made last week.  What sometimes happens while I am working on a bowl with a certain group of fabrics, another design presented itself.  I made the bottom bowl this morning.  I separated the darker fabrics with the gold batik which created a bit more contract.  I find it interesting that I really like both of them but for different reasons.  They are definitely similar but both have a very different feel to them.  I can't wait to get back out to the Southwest in June and see what other delightful fabrics I can find!
