Yarn Vase




...another ceramic creation,

actually mixed media.

It is a new design, and it is like nothing I have seen before,

I am making up the name "yarn vase" it seems to work.

Using a scrap of fabric dipped in clay to embellish the vase

and twisting it about to create the leaf and stem,

next a small cotton doily also dipped into clay for the flower,

then a vintage button mold pressed with clay for the center.

( Here is the photo before firing. )




The inside and bottom are glazed so that

it can be used for a fresh flower arrangement also.




For the exterior, I chose to use acrylic paint for the pale turquoise blue

background and added pink paint on the ceramic flower.






The design was done with a creative cut out

of the clay around the flower petals, before firing,

for the yarn to be pulled through,

and keep it from running amok,

as I am pulling at the yarn while teaching myself to crochet.




Happy Saturday!
