Anne's Bead Bowls!
The First Bowl
I love this bowl. (I have included two views of the same bowl.) I had been wanting to make a free
standing bead vessel for some time, so when a friend asked me to make something like a bead basket, I
knew just how to start my experiments. This bowl is made with size 6 seed beads, a mix of earthy colors
with an accent stripe of bronze. The top is a three bead picot edging, I am not sure of the size of those
beads, about 10 I think. The fringe includes other glass and bone beads. I started with flat circular brick
stitch, then started decreasing as it grew to
form the sides. I took careful notes, so when I went to make another bowl, I was able to keep the
proportions the same, even tho the second bowl is larger. (I wasn't able to get pictures of the second
bowl, sorry!)
