By Request

Had someone request that I make a purple bowl for holding dog treats. Took 2 tries but here it is.

This is also a challenge entry for a FaceBook group I belong to. It is 6.5 inches at the base; 9.25 inches across at the top; 3.5 inches tall. The knot is called a Pippa or Teardrop knot. (I need to practice my knots!) The exterior color comes from a spray-on dye I found on Amazon. I hope it is purple enough.

The dye I used for the purple bowls.

The interior of the bowl stitched with lavender thread.

I've had another request for a bowl in "not Fall" colors. I attempted but failed one that I was really excited about. Decided that more practice was needed before I tried again. I'm just about ready to go for it. It's really different from my other bowls in that it uses some fabric with the rope.

Failed bowl. The "arms" should be equally spaced around the center and I had planned for only 5.

A third person made a request for "a couple" of bowls but no color specification. Should I gift my practice bowls or make something special? IDK.
