I have slowly been experimenting with creating vessels.
So far this gold one is my favorite.
It was created with wool roving, ribbons, metallic threads and beads. All worked on water soluble film. The wool roving and ribbon is sandwiched in between two pieces of film and then heavily stitched using free motion with different types of threads and then the film is rinsed out. After it was dried, I sewed on beads to add more sparkle. This one was formed into a vessel with a felt bottom.
The grey and black ones were started the same except there isn’t any beading on them. Instead they each have a piece of velvet that has been melted and then sewn on as a focal point. They were then formed into a vessel shape and coated with Powertex Clear to stiffen into shape. There are the three different sizes and shapes.
I enjoyed experimenting with these and plan to continue experimenting!
