Down the Rabbit Hole finished

I am slow but I finally got my two Down the Rabbit Hole with Bea challenge pieces finished.  I think they were worth finishing!  The last clue was for us to turn, our altered, embellished, cut apart and put back together pieces of 7x9 inch fabric into a 3-D vessel of some kind.




Here is the a picture of the first  altered, embelllished, and reorganized fabric before shaping.










Here are two pictures of the finished vessel.  It is too delicate to really hold much of anything so I can't figure out a use for it but then, art doesn't have to be functional, does it?  Sometimes looking pretty is enough. 















I do think I might try this 5 step blind process again using more of my hand dyed fabric.  I think it is lovely way to show it off!
















My second piece of fabric turned into a Kleenex holder. That is functional but I think I like my pretty vessel best.

  1. LOL I LOVE what you did. And, you are absolutely right, some times art is just to enjoy and that's it's only purpose.
    And, the other thing that really tickles me is that you are already thinking about doing another one. I LOVE THIS. Thanks for taking the time to play and then sharing your finished art with us. :)Bea

  3. Fill your vessel with beautiful woolen rovings and maybe three exquisite feathers from nature. I do like what you did with the beautiful hand dyed fabrics. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

  4. Fill your vessel with pinecones...the color contrast would be wonderful. Maybe some filler in the bottoma and just a few different sized pinecones at the top.
