Dec. 16th, 2009 03:05 pmMade a couple new things recently.

My friend and I did a craft exchange where she knit me up a pair of wonderful, glorious, soft, warm socks (can you tell I really like them?) and in exchange she wanted a yarn bowl. So first I had to figure out what a yarn bowl was. Then figure out how to make one. It was quite an adventure of trial and error, but I'm reasonably pleased with my final result!

I made this one mostly to see 1) What happens if I carve an image into the bowl, and 2) What happens if I put wax over the first glaze. I think this is going to end up in a white elephant gift exchange...

These two are a set for tea and tiny snacks. I decided the glaze wasn't really my style. Oh well!
