Rope Bowl 3.0

Made another coiled creation today. This one incorporates some nice fabric to make a unique pattern in the bottom of the bowl. It was moderately successful.

It is supposed to be a FIVE-pointed star, not six. Size problems with the center of the circle and the bottoms of the triangles. 2piR is the circumference of the inner circle which was supposed to be 5 inches in diameter. The triangle bases are 3 inches each. 5pi is a bit over 15 but not enough for all six triangles. hmmm More math needed before the next one.

In addition, I had more problems dealing with the larger diameter bowl. Keeping it flat. Making sure I stitched in a "straight" line. Making the sides turn up. Practice. Practice. Practice. And this bowl is that.

The curvature of the star points is a happy surprise. It's a result of the rotation in sewing that I should have anticipated but did not. I like it!

The next one, if it comes out right, is for a good friend. shhhh Don't tell.
